Syrian baby born with shrapnel in headA baby girl has been born with shrapnel lodged in her head in Syria after her pregnant mother suffered horrific injuries in a rocket attack. The woman, named locally as Amira, had to undergo an emergency caesarean section at a hospital in Aleppo. Graphic footage posted on Facebook by the Aleppo City Medical Council showed doctors, delivering the lifeless and pale child, who had a piece of shrapnel that had pierced her mother's womb embedded in her forehead. Doctors suggested the name Amel, meaning Hope, in honour of the child's miraculous survival. "She wasn't even born, and she was targeted," Dr Mohammed Tabbaa, from the Syria Expatriate Medical Association, told CNN. "I mean, that's the situation.I'm hoping she'll have a bet ter future." An update posted on the M1hospital's Facebook page on Wednesday showed mother and baby resting in bed and said they were both in good health. Amira and her three older children were injured in the air strike on September 18, CNN reported, which was blamed on President Bashar al-Assad's regime by medics. Aleppo, Syria's largest city, is divided between opposition fighters, the Syrian government and Kurdish forces and witnesses frequent bombardment, airstrikes and street battles.
