A mother and her baby who were both injured by shrapnel are doing fine after doctors conducted an emergency cesarean section on the mother.
In a video posted on Friday by M-1 hospital in Aleppo, Syria, doctors are seen conducting emergency surgery on the woman who was wounded in the abdomen by shrapnel. The pregnant mother was admitted into for her injuries, though it is unclear when she was hit.
The video shows doctors cutting open the mother's abdomen to save the baby and then removing shrapnel from the child's head. The baby had also been injured by the shrapnel, right above the eye. Both patients are now recovering.

Aleppo residents have become used to crude homemade missiles which they call jarra and barrel bombs that are used by the Syrian army. Both are filled with shrapnel.
Aleppo is the largest city in Syria and previously, a cultural and economic center in the region. Now, it is a city besieged by conflict -- many insurgent groups are clamoring for control in the city where Syrian President Bashar al-Assad currently has a foothold. The city continues to sees airstrikes and sustained violence.

It is situations like this that have driven almost half of Syia to flee, despite the unfriendly welcomes and harsh conditions they often face in migrant camps and at nations' borders.
Over the past several years, Syria has been torn apart by the various forces and fighting; 4 million refugees have fled from the country into the neighboring countries of Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey among others. Within Syria, an estimated 7.6 million are displaced.
