Sabreen Alrouh Joudeh was born an orphan. And her life, however hopeful, has proved brief.
During a barrage of intense Israeli airstrikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah this weekend, one blast hit the family home into which Sabreen would have been welcomed, according to local health officials, hospital staff and family members. The blast killed her mother, Sabreen Sakani — who was 30 weeks pregnant with her at the time — as well as her father, Shukri Joudeh, and her 3-year-old sister she never got to meet, Malak.
The family was declared dead at the city’s Kuwaiti Hospital on Saturday, but NBC News’ cameras captured the moment doctors were able to perform a posthumous cesarean section and rescue Sabreen from her mother’s lifeless body.
Limp and lifeless at first, the vernix-covered newborn weighing just over 3 pounds was taken in a golden fabric blanket and rushed to an upstairs room. There, doctors tried for more than two minutes to resuscitate her by pumping air into her mouth and tapping her chest. They were finally, somehow, successful.
From there, she was immediately rushed by ambulance through the night to an intensive care unit incubator at the nearby Emirati Hospital, audibly whimpering on arrival. It was there that her paternal grandmother and uncle paid her an emotional visit, accompanied by NBC News, on Monday.
“I don’t know if we should be happy that she came to life or sad,” said her uncle Rami Joudeh, 25, weighing what should have been the joy of Sabreen’s arrival with the deaths of his brother and sister-in-law, who were just 29 and 27 years old. “Our lives are messy.”
The newborn’s grandmother Alham Al-Kurdi, 55, wept as she reached into the incubator.
“You are my soul, my heart. You are my heart, baby,” she said, tears rolling over her freckled cheeks, her wrinkled hand caressing the infant’s tissue-paper skin as machines chirped around her. “You are my beloved one. God willing, God willing. She is inside my heart.”
t was difficult to get a clear view of Sabreen’s tiny, preterm form through the thick plastic of the incubator keeping her alive. As she was lying swaddled in tubes and wires, those lifelines provided oxygen to her underdeveloped lungs and monitored her fragile pulse. Beneath the technology keeping her alive — a rarity in Gaza where many hospitals have been destroyed by six months of war — her ribs continued to rise and fall.
Though a remarkable vignette, this family has been devastated like so many others in the enclave.
This is a terrible tragedy. R.I.P.
“At least they didn’t stick her in a microwave oven to finish her off.”
Yea you know what? You are correct. They tried to save her life.
Not like certain sect of “Amish” here in America that do fuck shit like that. That makes me so angry I could just spit.
Here in America we have safe haven laws and yet this happens? Yet these people in Gaza who are called ‘animals’ seem to walk over burning coals in order to save their babies lives.
From everything I’ve read the people in Gaza want hamas gone but it’s like trying to get rid of a case of Herpes.
So what? Are we supposed now support Hamas?
Palestinian proganda!!
👍🏻
These people danced in the streets on 9/11, and that's something I will never forgive or forget.
The video of revelers cheering 9/11 that no one got to see
"Here are the facts, all of which are matters of public record. On the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of jubilant Palestinians took to the streets, chanting “God is great,” firing automatic weapons and handing out sweets to passers-by. The largest demonstration took place in Nablus in the West Bank, where some 3,000 marchers danced and cheered as guerrillas fired assault rifles and grenades into the air."
I do not want to hear it. I feel bad for the baby, but the Left’s hypocrisy is stunning.
Are there still baby, young child, hostages? My give a d^€℅ is busted for anything Palestinian.
War is hell. Hamas should’ve stayed home on October 7th.
And I bet they supported Hamas too. It’s not Israel’s fault.
The last poll I saw, Hamas had a 90% poll rating. They need to get out of Israel’s land.
Of course not.
Yea you know what? You are correct. They tried to save her life.

The process of defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan killed 12% of Germany and 5% of Japan. The firebombing of their cities, essentially tit-for-tat responses to German and Japanese terror bombings of Allied cities, finally broke their spirit, convinced them they were defeated, gave them an excuse to surrender. They had tried their worst, but it just wasn’t good enough. Similar destruction needs to be visited on the Palestinians so they finally submit. That Palestinian infants need to die so Israeli infants can be safe is regrettable, but yet another iteration of the kind of horror that occurs when weak powers uncork all civilized restraint in hopes of a quick victory, and that victory doesn’t materialize.
Only when they fit the narrative....Rest of the time, they’re garbage,.......
You think Jews are on an ego trip of Choseness? They are rank amateurs compared to Muslim supremacism which is all around us to see/ These nutballs don’t worship Allah. They really worship Muhammed and his barbarous life of bloody Jihad/ Mo led his booty seeking and sex slave seeking Jihad armies into 32 battles/wars.
All Muslims are supposed to emulate the life of this barbarian/ This is Koranic doctrine and in the Hadiths too. Muhammed is called the most perfect man who ever lived/
While reality is that this bloody clown is worshiped as a deity.
Fortunately, a large percentage of Muslims ignore Mo’s doctrines of conquest of the infidels. They just want to live a quiet, normal, secular lives. As much as I am against Muslim immigration into the US. Many want to live here to get far far away from Muslim fundamentalism and stupidity in their homelands.
I am pro Ukraine and pro-Israel. And who makes war against them? The Russian-Iranian alliance. They arm each other. Iran sends drones. Putin sending them fighter jets recently. https://tinyurl.com/ycka97te

Nothing in the gaslight press is “news.”
It’s all narrative propaganda.
It’s not what they report.
It’s what they don’t report.
she was a Palestinian.
\/
stopped reading right there
there are no palistinians.
“The last poll I saw, Hamas had a 90% poll rating”
oh please! Half the time we don’t even believe American polls! Why on earth would we believe any one else’s?
Just because now it supports our agenda? That is not a good reason.
No most in Gaza want Hamas gone but like I said it’s like getting rid of Herpes
The OP doesn’t care about that or any of the political aspects of the actual story.
She has used this story simply to insert her personal abortion concerns into it, regardless that the story has nothing at all to do with abortion.
I find that despicable. It has finally convinced me that her thinking is frighteningly irrational, and I will stop reading now, too.
“She has used this story simply to insert her personal abortion concerns into it, regardless that the story has nothing at all to do with abortion.”
Oh that is totally unfair!
How many countless stories have I posted in the past about babies who survived before birth and the pro life movement has used stories like that to disprove the abortion myths???
How many?
It’s just this one time I use the “Wrong baby” from the “wrong part of the world” that has been demonized that some how life does not matter?
You are angry with me because on the pro life realm I am consistent and don’t bend or break for anything?
Well that is the true meaning of pro life and yes you know what? It’s a fucking hard road to follow sometimes.
