RAFAH, Gaza: A baby girl who was delivered from her dying mother's womb in a Gaza hospital following an Israeli airstrike has herself died after just a few days of life, the doctor who was caring for her said on Friday.

Sabreen, who was 30-weeks pregnant, was rushed to the Emirati hospital in Rafah.

She died of her wounds but doctors were able to save the baby, delivering her by Caesarean section.

However, the baby suffered respiratory problems and a weak immune system, said Dr Mohammad Salama, head of the emergency neo-natal unit at Emirati Hospital, who had been caring for Rouh.

3. That's really heartbreaking. I saw a video of her and she looked pretty healthy and vigorous,

In the picture she looks a lot like my preemie sons did when they were born.
