A baby girl has been born alive with shrapnel lodged in her head in Syria. A Syrian woman, named locally as Amira, who was badly injured in Aleppo airstrike has delivered a miracle baby who was born with a shrapnel of the rocket lodged in her head. Doctors suggested the name Amel, meaning ‘Hope’ in Arabic, in honour of the child’s miraculous survival.
The healthcare workers from Aleppo City Medical Council, a non-profit medical service in the city, did an amazing job. A video that has gone viral on the web, posted on Facebook by the Aleppo City Medical Council showed SEMA doctors, delivering the lifeless and pale child, who had a piece of shrapnel that had pierced her mother’s womb embedded in her forehead (above her left eye). After they successfully removed the debris from her head, leaving a finger-sized wound, the baby is then heard crying in the footage.
