Gazan baby saved from her dead mother's womb dies
STORY: They called her Sabreen after her late mother and Rouh, meaning Soul, and she had just a few days of life.
A baby girl who was delivered from her dying mother's womb in a Gaza hospital following an Israeli airstrike has herself died, the doctor who was caring for her said on Friday (April 26).
Doctors delivered her by caesarean section.
Her mother, Sabreen Al-Sakani, was 30-weeks pregnant, and died of her wounds at a hospital in Rafah.
Her father Shukri and three-year-old sister Malak were also killed in the strike, which hit the family home in Rafah.
Rami Al-Sheikh Jouda, the baby's uncle, had understood she'd pull through and was shocked by the call from the hospital.
"They told me that the girl weakened - it was only 10 hours between the time I was there with her and when I received the news - he said the girl faced complications and she has passed away."
Sabreen Rouh suffered from respiratory problems and had a weak immune system, according to Doctor Mohammad Salama, head of the emergency neo-natal unit at Emirati Hospital.
He told Reuters by phone that when she died on Thursday (April 25) it was "a very difficult and painful day."
"Rouh is gone, my brother is gone, his daughter is gone, and his relative is gone and gone is the home that gathered us all together. We were hoping to find a memento from my brother (among the rubble), memories of his daughter, memories of his wife - there is nothing, everything is gone. Everything. Even their photos, we wanted to find them but we couldn't. We wanted to find their mobile phones but couldn't. We have found nothing, no traces of my brother are left."
More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the six-month-old war in Gaza, many of them women and children, according to the Gaza health ministry.
Israel denies deliberately targeting civilians in its campaign to eradicate Hamas.
Much of Gaza has been laid to waste by Israeli bombardment.
