Palestinian woman delivers stillborn baby after Israeli checkpoint delay, medics say Palestinian health workers said a woman delivered a stillborn baby in an ambulance after the vehicle was reportedly delayed by Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank on Monday, AFP reported on Monday. The 28-year-old woman was six months pregnant and unconscious when medics collected her from her home in the village of Qaryout, south of the city of Nablus, medic Bashar Qaryouti told AFP. "She was suffering from very heavy bleeding and her condition was extremely critical," Qaryouti said, adding that the ambulance was heading to Rafidia hospital in Nablus via Awarta checkpoint, where the Israeli soldiers stopped the ambulance.
