The baby saved from the womb of her martyr mother Sabreen Al-Sakani who was 3o weeks pregnent .
Palestinian health officials reported that amidst intensified strikes in the Palestinian city of Rafah, where 19 people lost their lives overnight, a Palestinian woman, along with her husband and daughter, fell victim to an Israeli attack. Tragically, the woman was pregnant .
The dead, killed in hits on two houses, included 13 children from one family, they said.
The baby, weighing 1.4 kg (3.09 lb)and delivered in an emergency C-section, was stable and improving gradually, said Mohammed Salama, a doctor caring for her. Her mother, Sabreen Al-Sakani, had been 30 weeks pregnant.
The baby was placed in an incubator in a Rafah hospital alongside another infant, with the words “The baby of the martyr Sabreen Al-Sakani” written on tape across her chest.
Sakani’s young daughter Malak, who was killed in the strike, had wanted to name her new sister Rouh, meaning spirit in Arabic, said her uncle Rami Al-Sheikh.
“The little girl Malak was happy that her sister was coming to the world,” he said.
The baby would stay in hospital for three to four weeks, said Salama, the doctor. “After that, we will see about her living, and where this child will go, to the family, to the aunt or uncle or grandparents. Here is the biggest tragedy. Even if this child survives, she was born an orphan,” he said.
