RAFAH, Gaza Strip: Relatives gathered by a tiny sandy grave in Gaza on Friday, where they had buried a baby girl who lived just a few days after doctors delivered her from the womb of her dying mother following an Israeli airstrike.
The baby was named Sabreen Al-Ruh after her dead mother, and Rouh means “soul.”
Her mother, Sabreen Al-Sakani Al-Sheikh, 30 weeks pregnant, was seriously injured when the Israeli strike hit the family home in Rafah, the southernmost city in the besieged Gaza Strip, on Saturday night.
