Blessed parents from across the UAE welcomed their new-born babies on the joyous occasion of Eid Al Adha on Tuesday, August 21. While ten newborns - five girls and five boys, were born at Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women and Children in Abu Dhabi; the Latifa Women and Children Hospital in Dubai welcomed eight new babies on this special day.
Burjeel Hospital successfully welcomed two sets of Eid Al Adha twins into the world, with the first set of baby twin boys being born a few seconds after midnight. Baby boys, Mohammed and Hamdan, were welcomed by their parents, the Saudi mother and Emirati father, Zayed Al Katheeri, with the help of consultant Dr Sausan Abdul Rahman from the hospital's gynaecology and obstetrics team.
The twins join three other siblings in the family, who were excited to welcome the first Eid Al Adha 2018 babies into the world. The parents said, "We are over the moon at the birth of our two healthy baby boys. The delivery of our twin boys is the best gift we could ever imagine, and we are so excited to welcome the twins into the world."
Emirati parents Ahmed Alnuaimi and Fatma Al Hosani were thrilled to welcome little Al Reem Alnuaimi and Noora Alnuaimi into the world. The mother and her babies are happy and healthy, and the family is looking forward to the future with their new additions.
