STORYLINE:
When pregnant woman Ola al-Kurd was brought dead to a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Friday, medical staff rushed her into the delivery room and worked on rescuing her baby.
Shortly afterward, a baby boy in stable health, but suffering from a shortage of oxygen, was placed in an incubator at al-Aqsa Hospital in north Gaza, said Dr. Khalil Dajran.
Al-Kurd was among seven people killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Her husband, Anas Yassin, was wounded in the same strike and is being treated in the hospital where his first son, who has not been given a name yet, is being taken care of.
Al-Kurd, 25, who was nine months pregnant, survived an Israeli airstrike four months ago that killed her parents and some of her siblings.
The Israel-Hamas war has left thousands of women and children dead according to health officials in the Gaza Strip.
The war in Gaza, which was sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, has killed more than 38,600 people, according to the territory's Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count.
The war has created a humanitarian catastrophe in the coastal Palestinian territory, displaced most of its 2.3 million population and triggered widespread hunger.
Hamas' October attack killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and militants took about 250 hostage. About 120 remain in captivity, with about a third of them believed to be dead, according to Israeli authorities.
