A baby which was shot twice in the leg during an
attack on a Kabul maternity unit which killed 24
people including mothers, nurses and newborns has
survived.

Three gunmen, suspected to be members of terror
group ISIS, entered the building in the Afghan
capital dressed as police officers before throwing
grenades and opening fire with rifles on Tuesday.

At least two of those shot dead were newborn
babies and 15 men, women and children were
injured. The attackers were later shot dead.

But one of the newborns, who was born just three
hours before the attack, survived after doctors
operated on her shattered right leg, the Times
reported.

And during the attack, another mother was forced
to give birth in silence while hiding in a room with
other pregnant women and a midwife as carnage
unfolded around them.

The surviving injured newborn was among several
of babies which have been taken to be cared for at
the Indira Gandhi Children's Hospital in Kabul.

Her mother, Nazia, died in the attack and the
newborn was given the same name by her father
Rafiullah after he had laid his wife to rest.

Dr Noor ul-Haq Yousafzai, a director at the hospital,
told the Times: 'We set Nazia's fracture, so she will
be able to walk when she grows up.'

'But to see a newborn baby, just three hours old, shot
twice. Everyone is shocked. This is inhuman.'

And the mother who gave birth in silence was
helped by a midwife who severed the baby's
umbilical cord with her hand.

'The mother was in pain but was trying not to make
any sound,' the midwife said.

'She even put her finger in the newborn baby's mouth
to stop her from crying,' the woman told AFP by
phone on Friday, her voice still shaking three days
after the attack.

The raid on the Barchi National Hospital has
sparked international outrage.

There were 26 mothers in the hospital on the
morning gunmen posing as members of the Afghan
security forces burst in, said the Doctors Without
Borders charity, which runs the maternity ward.

Eleven of them were killed during the hours-long
attack, including three in a delivery room with their
newborn babies. Five were wounded.

Another 10 sheltered in 'safe rooms', which are
common in Afghanistan and are often armoured to
protect the occupants from gunfire or rockets.

The midwife, who spoke to AFP on the condition of
anonymity, also rushed to one of the safe rooms
when the emergency siren went off.

As she and some of the women huddled inside, they
could hear gunshots as the attackers went from
room to room throughout the hospital.

Then one of the women began to give birth.

'We helped her with our bare hands, we had nothing
else in the room except some toilet paper and our
scarves,' the midwife said .

'When the baby was born, we cut the umbilical cord
using our hands. We used our headscarves to wrap
the baby and the mother.'

As the terrified women tried to stay quiet, they could
hear the gunmen outside asking them to open the
door.

'But we knew they were not (security force members),'
she said.

Three gunmen were later killed by Afghan security
forces.

After the attack 18 babies were taken to another
hospital for treatment - some of them carried from
the scene by heavily armed soldiers.

No group has claimed the attack, but the United
States blamed the Islamic State group.

U.S. Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad, the
architect of the country's pact with the Taliban, said
in blaming ISIS militants that they opposed any
Taliban deal and sought to trigger an Iraq-style
sectarian war in Afghanistan.

But a senior Afghan government official said the
patterns of recent attacks showed the involvement
of the Taliban and the affiliated Haqqani Network,
whose head, Sirajuddin Haqqani, is the deputy chief
of the Taliban.

The official, who declined to be identified,
questioned Khalilzad's assessment as 'premature'
adding that all the evidence suggested it was not
Islamic State who carried out the raid on the
hospital.

The Taliban has warned it is 'fully prepared' to
counter Afghan forces.
