A Palestinian Woman from Gaza Strip is giving a Labor to Four Babies in Israel
A Palestinian woman from Gaza Strip is giving labor to four babies in Barzilai Medical Center Ashkelon Israel on Wednesday August 6 2008. The Palestinian woman named Helwah (Means: Pretty in Arabic) arrived to the medical center in Israel two months ago in purpose to receive a special medical treatment to delay an early labor of the four babies. As time passed, her charming personality created a close relationship between her and the Israel medical team and as her husband could not get out from Gaza strip because of the security problem on the border she found comfort, love and care from the Israelis. A few days ago a risk to her pregnancy was found as toxic had been developing and the head of obstetrics and gynecology department Prof. Eyal Antebi decided to operate Helwah immediately and to take out the four babies. Today in an emergency surgery, the medical team delivered successfully all four babies, two boys and two girls safely. Photo by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye.
