Italian coastguards returned to port to a hero's welcome on Saturday after they delivered the baby of a desperate African immigrant following her dramatic rescue from a stricken boat off the coast of Sicily.
The crew of the Italian navy frigate, named Euro, were forced into action minutes after dragging the heavily-pregnant mother on board as they rescued an overcrowded dinghy that had run into trouble in rough seas.
Despite a lack of sterile hospital conditions, the on-board doctor, with the help of crew members, successfully delivered the baby girl before returning to harbour, where they were greeted with rapturous applause from well-wishers who had gathered to welcome the new arrival.
Both mother and daughter - who was named Yambambi Yete - were reported to be doing fine after being taken to hospital in Reggio Calabria for check ups.
She was among 600 would-be immigrants rescued from the Mediterranean sea this weekend - a consignment of human misery that included 24 minors and one paraplegic woman
Awww...God at work, congrats!
Which African country is she from Toyeeenbee?
