tragedy

It's so very sad ...... and this is not the first time. Another woman forced to give birth in the streets and the baby dies. To quote the article "Between 2000 and 2006, at least 68 Palestinian women gave birth at Israeli checkpoints, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Of these 35 women miscarried, and five died in childbirth. "
