Reuters reported on the 26th that a baby girl who was miraculously born through cesarean section to a pregnant woman who died in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip on the 20th (local time) eventually passed away.
According to reports, the baby died on the 25th and the body was buried in a cemetery in Rafah.
Israel conducted an airstrike on Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip, on the night of the 20th, and the house where the baby’s family was housed was damaged.
The baby’s father and three-year-old sister died, and the baby’s mother, Sabrin Al Sakhani, who was 30 weeks pregnant, was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.
She died, but doctors removed the baby by caesarean section. Her baby was named Sabrin Allu after her late mother. ‘Lu’ means ‘soul’ in Arabic.
The child, who was kept in an incubator in the neonatal intensive care unit at Emirati Hospital, was able to stay with his paternal grandmother once his respiratory disease and immune system stabilized, but he died after five days.
The baby’s uncle lamented, “Lou, my brother, his wife, and daughter are dead. The home that brought us together is gone.”
“I and other doctors tried to save the baby, but he eventually died,” said Mohammad Salama, head of the hospital’s neonatal unit. “It was a very difficult and painful day for me personally.”
According to the Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health, more than 34,000 Palestinians, including women and children, have died in the war between Israel and Hamas (a Palestinian armed political faction) in the Gaza Strip that has continued since October last year.
Israel, under the banner of ‘eradicating Hamas’, is denying some suspicions that it is ‘intentionally targeting civilians’.
