Doctors in Gaza saved the life of an unborn baby whose pregnant mother was killed in an Israeli attack, Al Jazeera reports according to The Associated Press (AP) news agency.

The baby boy was in stable condition on Friday but had suffered oxygen shortages and was placed in an incubator at al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, Dr Khalil Dajran told AP.

The mother, Ola al-Kurd, 25, had previously survived an Israeli air strike four months ago that killed her parents and some of her siblings. She was nine months pregnant when she was killed on Friday, along with six others, in an Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Her husband, Anas Yassin, was wounded in the same strike and was being treated at the same hospital as his newborn son, AP reports.
