Baby delivered after mother killed in Israeli attack in Gaza
The tragic consequences of conflict in Gaza are starkly illustrated by the recent Israeli attack in Rafah, which claimed the lives of Sabreen Al-Sakani, her husband, their daughter, and 16 others, including 13 children from a single family. Amidst this devastation, a ray of hope emerges with the miraculous survival of a baby girl delivered through emergency C-section from Sabreen's womb. Weighing 1.4 kg, she is under the care of Dr. Mohammed Salama and is gradually improving, though orphaned at birth.
The newborn, adorned with a tape across her chest bearing the words "The baby of the martyr Sabreen Al-Sakani," symbolizes the resilience of life amidst tragedy. Named Rouh, meaning "spirit" in Arabic, by her late sister Malak's wish, she is a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict.
