Mum who delivered baby on aircraft stranded in Dubai

Dubai, Nov 2 (UNI) A Pakistani woman, who delivered one of her twins aboard an aircraft in Dubai, is now stranded in the emirate as she does not have money to settle her hospital bills.

Nasim Bibi (22) who was flying on an Emirates airliner from Jeddah to Islamabad on Tuesday evening, gave birth to one of the twin girls on board the aircraft in Dubai, when the plane was in transit.

She was then taken to Al Wasl Hospital after it was discovered by airport clinic doctors that another baby was on the way.

''I have to pay some 5,000 dirhams as hospital charges. I have no money with me. Besides, I do not know who will help me to get passports for my babies,'' she told Khaleej Times.

Mohammed Waseem, welfare officer at the Pakistan Consulate, said the Consulate would look into the case.
