A baby was born by caesarean section after his mother was killed along with her husband and daughter in an Israeli raid in Rafah, Gaza Strip.
In fact, in this particular raid, 22 people have lost their lives, among them 18 children according to Skynews.
The baby, who is a girl, weighs 1 kg and 400 grams and was born by caesarean section at Gaza Stripis in a stable condition and his health is improving, explained the doctor in charge, Mohamed Salama.
Her mother, Sabrin al-Shakani, was 30 weeks pregnant when she was killed.
The infant is in an incubator at a hospital in Rafah, with the words “martyr Sabrin al-Shakani’s baby” taped across his chest.
The infant will remain in the hospital for three to four weeks, the doctor explained.
“Then we will see where this child goes, to the family, to the aunt, uncle or grandparents. This is the greatest tragedy: even if this child survives, he was born an orphan,” he explained.

“We tried to save the patient,” said Dr. Ahmad Fawzi.
“We found out she was pregnant. We had to do an emergency c-section to save the baby. Thanks to God we managed to save the baby. The mother was in critical condition. Her head had exploded. That’s how we saved one of the two.”
When asked about the casualties in Rafah, an Israeli army spokesman said that various military targets were hit in Gaza, including military infrastructure, rocket launchers and gunmen.
“Did you see any men among the dead?” asked Saqr Abdel Aal, a Palestinian whose family is among the dead, grieving over the body of a child wrapped in a white shroud.
“They are all women and children,” he added.
Mohammadal Behairi said his daughter and granddaughter were still under the debris.
“We have a feeling of sadness, depression, we have nothing left in life to cry about, what else can we feel? When you lose your children, when you lose the ones you love the most, how do you feel?” he said.
Palestinian health authorities have announced that more than 34,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of Israeli operations there. The war broke out on October 7 after an unprecedented attack by Hamas against Israel that claimed the lives of around 1,200 people.
According to newsit, on Sunday (21.04.2024) the Hamas Health Ministry pointed out that 48 Palestinians were killed and another 79 wounded in Gaza by Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours.
For their part, the Palestinian Authority announced that 60 bodies were recovered from a mass grave at Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Yunis, weeks after Israeli forces withdrew from it. With these dead, the number of bodies found in the hospital yard since April 12 increases to 210.
According to the same source, around 2,000 people are still missing in the rubble in Khan Younis, as are another 1,000 in the central Gaza Strip, with their bodies unable to be retrieved from the rubble as there is no heavy machinery.
