A premature baby orphaned by an Israeli airstrike has died less than a week after she was rescued from her dead mother’s womb. Sabreen Jouda was almost two months premature when she was delivered by emergency C-section on Sunday. Her lungs hadn’t developed properly yet, so she suffered from respiratory distress syndrome and was placed in an incubator, NBC News reports. She weighed just 3.1 pounds when she was born, reports the BBC. Relatives say she died on Thursday and will be buried with other family members killed in the Rafah airstrike, including her parents and her 3-year-old sister.
