Baby delivered from killed mother gives Gaza hope

2^min

A Palestinian doctor hailed the successful delivery of a premature baby born from the womb of a woman fatally injured during an Israeli airstrike as a ‘miracle’.

Medics carried out an emergency C-section to save the baby’s life after her mother passed away on the operating table.

The 23-year-old woman was killed after an Israeli airstrike hit a house in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah.

The doctor who carried out the C-Section said he believed “what’s happened is a miracle” as the baby's mother had been dead for around five minutes before the operation could be completed.

The little girl’s chances of survival are rated at 50/50 by the doctors.

Some 1,031 Palestinians, mainly civilians and including many children, have been killed in the 20-day conflict.

Israel says 43 of its soldiers have died, along with three civilians killed by rocket and mortar fire out of the Mediterranean enclave.

Israel launched its Gaza offensive on July 8, saying its aim was to halt rocket attacks by Hamas and its allies.
