Baby delivered from dying mother's womb in Gaza 'miracle'

At just seven months pregnant, her mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, reached the emergency unit in critical condition after she was fatally wounded in the head and abdomen at the weekend. An Israeli air strike hit her family's house in the east of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, witnesses told AFP. "It's a miracle that she was still alive, despite her difficulties in breathing," Sahib al-Shams, a surgeon and director of the Kuwaiti hospital in Rafah, told AFP. While examining Sakani, the hospital's medical team realised she was pregnant.
