Forced to flee her home by Israeli bombardment, Asmaa Ahmed gave birth in the middle of the night in a Gaza City school that had no electricity.
The doctor arrived just in time, working by the light of a mobile phone and clamping the umbilical cord with whatever medical staff could find.
“I was very, very afraid to lose the baby,” 31-year-old Ahmed told AFP, recounting how her son Faraj came into the world four months ago.
Baraa Jaber, the nurse who assisted in the delivery, said she was scared too.
