Gaza baby born in Israel to mother left brain dead by stroke
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Palestinians, Gaza Strip 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for September 24, 2008.

Both celebration and tragedy were evident on Tuesday at an unlikely birth in the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.

A Caesarian section was performed on a woman from Gaza who had spent the last three months of her pregnancy in vegetative state, brain dead after a stroke. She was transferred to Israel when Gaza doctors said they feared they would be unable to care for her.

Mohammed has spent the last three months at his wife Vania's bedside. He and Vania, who married after meeting in Bulgaria, raised two sons together in the Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Together, they chose the name Daniel for their unborn son.
