“It is a miracle that she was still alive despite her breathing difficulties,” Sahib al-Shams, director of the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah, told AFP. The newborn was in stable condition, hospital officials said Tuesday.
The mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, died 10 minutes after the operation, al-Shams said. She was seven months pregnant when she arrived at the hospital with injuries to her head and stomach. The doctors noticed the pregnancy during the examination and decided to immediately perform a cesarean section despite the lack of anesthesia.
