Video: 21-year-old Gaza woman mothers 11

A 21-year-old woman in Gaza has given birth to quintuplets, making her a mother of 11 after previously giving birth to sextuplets.

“I really don’t want to keep on giving birth, but this is what happened to me,” Naima al-Batash told Al Arabiya.

“After one course of breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, I put one child to sleep, but then the second child will wake up, so I start breastfeeding, and the same thing happens again… My head is spinning,” she said.

“Crying won’t help. If God gave me these children, he’ll help me raise them,” Batash added.

Naima’s husband Raad is feeling the financial strain, as the salary from his government job is less than $500 a month, and half of it goes to paying debt.

“I feel what’s demanded from me is more than I can give as a 25-year-old, a lot of money every day to buy milk and pampers,” he said.
