RAFAH, Gaza Strip, 26 Apr: A premature Palestinian infant, rescued from her mother\u2019s womb shortly after the woman was killed in an Israeli airstrike, has died, her uncle said Friday.
\nSabreen Jouda died in a Gaza hospital on Thursday after her health deteriorated and medical teams were unable to save her, said her uncle, Rami al-Sheikh.
\nSabreen\u2019s home in the southern Gaza city of Rafah was hit by an Israeli airstrike shortly before midnight Saturday. Her parents and 4-year-old sister were killed.
\nFirst responders took the bodies to a nearby hospital, where medical workers performed an emergency cesarean section on her mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, who was 30 weeks\u2019 pregnant. The infant was kept in an incubator in a neonatal intensive care unit at another hospital until she died five days later.
\nAl-Sheikh told The Associated Press that Sabreen was buried next to her father on Thursday.
\n\u201cWe were attached to this baby in a crazy way,\u201d he said, speaking near Sabreen\u2019s grave in a cemetery in Rafah.
\n\u201cGod had taken something from us but given us something in return\u201d with the baby surviving after her family died, he said. \u201cBut (now) he has taken them all. My brother\u2019s family is completely wiped out. It\u2019s been deleted from the civil registry. There is no trace of him left behind.\u201d
\nMore than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed during the Israel-Hamas war, according to local health officials, who say about two-thirds of the dead are women and children. The health officials don\u2019t differentiate among combatants and civilians in their count.
\nIsrael declared war on Hamas and unleashed a pulverizing air and ground offensive in Gaza in response to the militants\u2019 Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. The militants killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took another 250 hostage.
\nMore than half of Gaza\u2019s 2.3 million people have sought refuge in Rafah, where Israel has conducted near-daily raids as it prepares for a possible offensive in the city. AP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
