BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A woman gave birth in an ambulance on Friday morning, after snow blocked her route to hospital in southern Bethlehem.
The mother and baby girl were later transferred to hospital and both were in good health.
Emergency services chief in Bethlehem Abdul Halim Jaafra said ambulances had rushed to the pregnant woman’s home in Beit Fajjar village.
She delivered her child on the way to Beit Jala government hospital, as Bethlehem saw its first snowfall in four years, blocking roads in the southern West Bank city.
