Ethiopian mother welcomes rare quintuplets after long wait
A 35-year-old Ethiopian woman, Bedriya Adem, has given birth to quintuplets (four boys and a girl) after 12 years of trying, at Hiwot Fana Specialised Hospital in Harari region. The five babies, each weighing about 1.3–1.4 kg, were delivered by Caesarean section and are reported healthy; conception occurred naturally with no IVF. The mother, who faced years of emotional and social strain, named the children Naif, Ammar, Munzir, Nazira, and Ansar and is receiving support as she and her expanded family adapt to their new life.
