Gaza’s ‘miracle baby’ dies in incubator due to power cuts

GAZA: A baby, who was saved from her killed mother’s womb in Gaza, died in an incubator due to power cuts caused by the Israeli attacks at a local hospital, Al-Jazeera reported.


Prematurely delivered from the womb of her dead mother, the ‘miracle baby’ Shayma died in Khan Yunis hospital in southern Gaza after five days of fighting to stay alive.

The baby died at an intensive care unit due to power blackouts after Israeli shelling knocked out Gaza’s only power station.

Dr Fadi Al-Khrote, one of the doctors who saved the baby, told the channel that Shayma’s mother, 23-year-old Shayma al-Sheikh Qanan, had been clinically dead for ten minutes before the surgery to save the baby finished. The child was a “miracle”, he said, as the baby was deprived of oxygen for some time.

Shayma was rescued by doctors on Saturday, after her mother and father were killed in an airstrike that destroyed their house in the town of Deir al-Bala.
