The place is called Wadi Al-Nasara (the \u201cValley of the Christians\u201d) and, not too long ago, it was a touristic area. Today, it\u2019s more of a refugee-relief zone:\u00a010% of Christians in the country are concentrated there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Siham did not have the financial resources to pay for the medical services and care a C-section requires.
