A horrific terrorist attack launched by ISIS on a Kabul maternity ward last week killed and injured dozens of newborn babies and mothers.
Knowing that several babies couldn't be breastfed by their mothers, who were either killed or too weak to feed their babies, an Afghani woman rushed towards the hospital so she can breastfeed as many as babies as possible.
