A baby born in the womb of a Palestinian mother died in an Israeli airstrike. It has been four days since birth.
According to Middle Eastern media such as Al Jazeera, the baby Sabreen Alou, born by caesarean section to a mother who was seriously injured in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip, where the Islamic militant group Hamas located. , died on the 25th. The mother, Sabrine Alsakhani, who was a refugee, died shortly after giving birth.
Alu, born after 30 weeks of pregnancy, weighed 1.4 kg at birth and was in danger, but managed to survive thanks to emergency medical treatment. An official from Rafah Emirate Hospital, who was looking after Alu in the neonatal intensive care unit, said, “We tried to save the baby, but he died in the end. “It was a very painful day,” she said “The baby was born with an immature respiratory system and a very weak immune system.”
The Gaza Strip Ministry of Health announced on the 21st that an Israeli air strike in Rafah hit two houses and killed 19 people, including al-Sakhani’s husband and a four-year-old daughter. Al Jazeera said, “This baby (Alu) is one of the 14,000 children who died during Israeli military airstrikes on Gaza since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7 last year.”
In the meantime, there are observations that the Israeli army’s campaign to enter Rafah, which the international community was concerned about, has entered the reckoning. The Israeli army issued a statement on the 25th and announced that they had withdrawn its main unit, the Nahal Infantry Brigade, stationed in the Gaza Strip in preparation for Operation Rafah. There were also reports in the local media that Israel had recently built a large tent camp near Rafah to evacuate refugees and that Israeli military leaders had gathered in Egypt, which is near Rafah, to discuss the issue of the Rafah attack.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also recently said that the operation of his troops to enter Rafah is “being promoted.” The specific timetable was not disclosed. An Israeli Defense Ministry official said: “The troops can be deployed immediately and are just waiting for Netanyahu’s approval.”
