Gaza baby saved from dead mother’s womb dies

PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES – A baby girl who was delivered from her dying mother’s womb in a Gaza hospital following an Israeli air strike has herself died after just a few days of life, the doctor who was caring for her said on April 26.Her mother, Ms Sabreen Al-Sakani, was seriously injured when the Israeli strike hit the family home in Rafah, the southernmost city in the besieged Gaza Strip, on the evening of April 20.

However, the baby suffered respiratory problems and a weak immune system, said Dr Mohammad Salama, head of the emergency neonatal unit at Emirati Hospital, who had been caring for Rouh.“I and other doctors tried to save her, but she died. For me personally, it was a very difficult and painful day,” he told Reuters by phone.

“She was born while her respiratory system wasn’t mature, and her immune system was very weak, and that is what led to her death. She joined her family as a martyr,” Dr Salama said.More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the six-month-old war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas militants, many of them women and children, according to the Gaza health ministry.

Much of Gaza has been laid to waste by Israeli bombardments, and most of the enclave’s hospitals have been badly damaged, while those still operating are short of electricity, medicine sterilisation equipment and other supplies. “ grandmother urged me and the doctors to take care of her because she would be someone that would keep the memory of her mother, husband and sister alive. But it was God’s will that she died,” Dr Salama said. REUTERSPlease verify your e-mail to read this subscriber-only article in full
