Miracle Baby Survives After Mother Killed in Israeli Strike in Gaza

Miracle Baby Survives After Mother Killed in Israeli Strike in Gaza

In the Palestinian city of Rafah, a baby girl defied the odds and survived after her mother, Sabreen Al-Sakani, was killed in an Israeli air strike during labor.
Sabreen, who was seven months pregnant, was critically wounded and taken to the emergency unit.

Her husband and another daughter were also killed in the attack.

The baby girl, delivered by Caesarian section, is now in an incubator at Al-Emirati hospital.

Surgeon Sahib Al-Shams described the baby's survival as a miracle.

A pregnant woman named Sakani and her family were killed in an air strike on their home in the northern Gaza Strip on April 23, 2024.

The medical team at the hospital performed an emergency C-section but lacked anesthetics, and Sakani died 10 minutes later.

Her baby's father and sister also died upon arrival at the hospital.

At least 19 people were reported dead in the strike by Gaza's health ministry.

The newborn was transferred to the paediatrics unit of the Emirati hospital in Rafah for treatment.

A Palestinian baby girl was born prematurely during an Israeli bombardment in Gaza, and was quickly taken to an incubator, put on oxygen, and treated with antibiotics at an Emirati hospital.

The baby's uncle, Rami Al-Sheikh, will take care of her upon her release.

The baby, named Sabreen Al-Ruh, weighed less than two kilogrammes and her mother was in her seventh month of pregnancy at the time of her birth.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas resulted in the tragic circumstances of the baby's birth.

A Palestinian girl was born alive against odds during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The mother, Sakani, had difficulty breathing due to the conflict, which can limit oxygen supply to the fetus.

Footage of her birth was widely shared.

The conflict began on October 7 when Hamas launched attacks on Israel, resulting in the deaths of over 1,170 Israelis and foreigners, according to Israeli figures.

Over 34,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza as a result of Israel's military offensive, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry.

Over 1.5 million Gazans sought refuge in Rafah, but many have since returned north.

A baby named Makkah Abu Chamalah was born through a post-mortem C-section on October 21 after his mother, Dareen Abu Chamalah, was critically wounded and killed by an air strike in Rafah.

The baby was identified with a tag on his incubator as the "baby of the martyr." UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk expressed outrage over the incident, stating that the images of the premature baby and the destruction of two houses where 15 children and five women were killed went beyond the boundaries of warfare.
