'Heroic' mother breastfeeds orphaned babies after Kabul attack

In a span of three hours, Feroza breastfed four of the orphaned newborns."I thought to myself that these babies need their mothers, but they were killed in the attack, so I will play the role of a mother, hug them and feed them," she told Al Jazeera.Feroza was breastfeeding her four-month-old boy at home when she heard about the attack on the maternity section of the Dasht-e-Barchi hospital in Afghanistan's capital. Aziza Kermani, also based in Kabul, was one of them."I am ready to adopt one of the babies who have lost their mother or whose families do not have the financial ability to raise them," Kermani told Afghanistan news station, TOLOnews.No group has claimed responsibility for the assault that has shocked the country. In all, 24 people were killed, including 16 women and two newborns.In a statement, Frederic Boonot, Doctors Without Borders' head of programmes in Afghanistan, described the gruesome details of the attack."They came to kill the mothers," he said, describing how the attackers ignored other sections of the hospital and deliberately went to the maternity clinic."They went through the rooms, shooting women in their beds.
