A premature baby girl who was saved from the womb after her mother was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza has now died as well.
Sabreen Jouda passed away in a hospital in the southern city of Rafah on Thursday after surviving for five days in an incubator in a neonatal intensive care unit, her uncle told the Associated Press. Her father and four-year-old sister were also killed in the airstrike that claimed the life of her mother shortly before midnight on Saturday.
First responders transported the family’s bodies to a hospital where medical workers performed a posthumous cesarean section on Sabreen’s mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, who was 30 weeks pregnant at the time she was killed. The infant was then rushed to another hospital where doctors battled to keep her alive.
