A baby girl delivered from a Palestinian woman who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah on Saturday has now died, according to her family.

The baby survived for five days, but died at the Emirati field hospital on Thursday. Her death was confirmed by her uncle, who spoke with CBC News late in the day.

The infant was delivered by via emergency caesarean 10 weeks premature and weighing three pounds, nine ounces on Saturday, in the aftermath of an attack in the southern Gaza city.

The blast killed her mother, who had been 30 weeks pregnant, as well as her father and older sister.

    Another of the well over 10,000 children killed in this horrific war. And you’re not going to convince me that most of those children were either killed by Hamas or were members of Hamas that deserved to die.

    But remember, the pro-life party in the US is largely favour of this war.

    (So’s the pro-choice party, but at least in this one small way they’re not shameless hypocrites)

    Not related but why do Palestinians have so many children? The Israelis do too but not as many.
