A 24-year-old woman has given birth to quintuplets at a hospital in the south Lebanon city of Tyre.

Aya Hamad and the five newborns - three girls and two boys - "are in good health," the director of the Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre, Dr. Kamel Yassin, said.

Yassin said the quintuplets, born prematurely in the seventh month and weighing between 1 - 1.3 kilos, were in "stable, good condition."

Aya, who already has a 2-year-old son from her husband, named the children Zeinab, Zahraa, Fatima, Ali and Hasan.

"I'm very, very happy to have my babies delivered on the 10th day of Muharram [Ashoura Day]," Aya said. "I have a complete family now."

The mother said she was expecting four children, but the fifth one came as surprise, discovered in an ecography a couple days before giving birth.

Dr. Riad Gharib, who oversaw the delivery, said Aya - who was suffering from infertility - has been receiving treatment for the past two years until she got pregnant naturally, without impregnation.
