We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Syrian doctors work to save the unborn child

A pregnant Syrian woman was inured by a missile strike in Aleppo, when a shrapnel punctured her belly, implanting itself in her unborn child's tiny body.

Highlights

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (Catholic Online) - Following the missile attack, an unnamed woman was brought to the Aleppo City Medical Council, where an emergency cesarean removed her wounded child.

Daily Mail reported a graphic video was uploaded to YouTube showing Syrian doctors remove the infant from its mother's belly.

Medics fought to revive the infant, who was not breathing. They frantically rubbed her body and cleared her airway until she finally took her first breath.



Healthcare workers removed a piece of shrapnel from her brow and immediately tended to her wounds as well as her mothers'.

The woman considered naming her daughter Amal, which means "hope" in Arabic, but whether she decided to stick with the name has yet to be announced.

The infant has three siblings who were also injured in the strike and luckily each of them survived.
Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, 320,000 people have been killed and an estimated 4 million have been forced from their homes.
