Iraqi woman gives birth to sextuplets

BAGHDAD, Aug. 16 (Chinese media) -- A woman in southern Iraq has given birth to sextuplets, local media reported Saturday.

However, two of the infants died of breathing problems soon after their birth due to a lack of proper medical equipment at the hospital in Nassiriya.

Two boys and two girls survived.

Their mother, Ibtisam Najim Abid, now is puzzled by the problem of how to feed so many babies.
