Kurd was among at least 30 people killed across the Gaza Strip in a punishing 24 hours of Israeli bombardment that killed six members of one family in a neighbourhood north of Gaza City, rescuers and medics in Hamas-run Gaza said.
At least seven people were killed in overnight strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp, a civil defence spokesperson said.
Medical sources at Al-Awda Hospital said four children from Nuseirat were wounded while playing on a roof, with one requiring an amputation.
Kurd’s husband was also wounded in the missile attack that hit their home, said surgeon Hussein.
After surviving the C-section, baby Malek Yassin faced further medical hurdles. Born in critical condition, he was stabilised after receiving oxygen and medical attention, Saudi said.
The war in Gaza has made childbirth increasingly perilous, with pregnant women facing near-daily strikes that hamper access to health facilities.
If they are able to reach a hospital, they find facilities that humanitarian groups say are stretched to breaking point.
Just 1,500 hospital beds are currently available to Gaza’s more than two million people, compared with 3,500 beds before the war, UN agencies have said.
