 MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) - A 20-year-old woman gave birth Saturday to a baby girl at a makeshift hospital after being evacuated by helicopter from her earthquake-shattered mountain village.
Dr. Sohail Qureshi said it was a trying labor, lasting two days because the mother was "in a state of fear" after being flown out of Batika, about 10 miles from Muzaffarabad.
But the delivery was normal, the doctor said, and Nasim Bibi and baby Fareeha were doing fine. The newborn weighed six pounds.
