A newborn was spared from his mother’s womb, according to a Gaza hospital on Saturday. The woman had passed away from injuries she had received in an Israeli bombardment.
Nine months pregnant Ola Adnan Harb Al-Kurd barely made it through a brutal night of missile attacks that, according to rescue services operating throughout the Hamas-run enclave, claimed the lives of over 24 people, six of whom belonged to the same family.
However, physician Akram Hussein stated that Kurd was “almost dead” when she arrived at Al-Awda Hospital.
The mother could not be saved, but an ultrasound allowed the doctors to find the baby’s heartbeat.
The physician told AFP that they promptly performed an emergency cesarean section “and extracted the fetus.”
The baby was stabilized after receiving oxygen and medical attention, but his condition was critical at first, according to Raed Al-Saudi, chairman of the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department.
He was taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah and put in an incubator.
According to a medical official at Al-Awda Hospital, Kurd was one of three women and a kid killed by an Israeli missile launched on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
In the attack on the family house, her spouse sustained injuries as well.
Although a military statement claimed that troops were “conducting targeted raids on terrorist infrastructure sites” in central Gaza, Israel has not verified any specific strikes.
