An Afghan refugee gave birth to a baby girl on a plane while fleeing to the UK.
After the Taliban took over Afghanistan, countless people have tried to escape what many are fearing will be a brutal regime.
Pregnant Soman Noori, 26, her 30-year-old husband Taj Moh Hammat and their two children were among those to get out.
They managed to board a Turkish Airlines flight bound for Birmingham and Mrs Noori ended up giving birth at 30,000 feet.
There were no medical staff on board so it was left to the flight crew to deliver the couple’s third child.
The flight had left Kabul and stopped over in Dubai before it was supposed to land in Birmingham.
But the pilot decided to land in Kuwait after the birth as a precaution.
Both Mrs Noori and her new daughter are healthy and well, according to a statement issued by Turkish Airlines.
The little girl was named Havva, which means Eve in English.
The family, and the rest of the flight’s passengers, landed safely in Birmingham at 11.45am on Saturday.
It comes as the UK orchestrated its last civilian evacuation flight out of Afghanistan on Sunday.
Any future flights from the country coming into the UK will be transporting diplomatic and military personnel.
That is just in time for the troop evacuation deadline of August 31 set by the Taliban and US government.
Nearly 15,000 British nationals and eligible Afghans have been airlifted out of the country since Operation Pitting began two weeks ago, the government says.
