A plane erupts in applause as a Canadian doctor delivers a baby on a flight to Uganda.

A Canadian doctor has told of her joy after delivering a "Miracle" baby on an overnight flight to Uganda.

Dr Khatib, bleary-eyed from a gruelling work schedule back in coronavirus-plagued Toronto, was enjoying a well-earned rest on the third leg of her trip."I see a crowd of people gathered around the patient," Dr Khatib told BBC News. At this point she was assuming it was a critical situation, like a heart attack.

The baby was crying "robustly", she said. Following a quick check, she passed the infant to the paediatrician for a closer inspection."So I was like, 'Congratulations it's a girl.' Then the entire plane started clapping and cheering and was like 'Oh right, I'm on a plane and everybody is watching this.'""The best part of the story is that she decided to name the baby after me.
