(MENAFN- Jordan Times) “Every day, I go to the hospital to check on my brother's daughter who was rescued from her mother's womb,” Sheikh told AFP.
“I named her 'Sabreen Al Ruh' because her father wanted to name her Ruh,” he added, referring to the Arabic word for soul.
Several local media said the baby weighed less than two kilogrammes, and that her mother had been in her seventh month of pregnancy when she was born.
“The fact that this little girl was born alive despite the circumstances is nothing short of a great feat,” Abu Snimeh said.
He added that when a pregnant woman like Sakani struggles to breathe, the foetus lacks oxygen, which can hinder its development.
Palestinian journalists filmed the birth, footage of which was widely circulated Monday.
