A newborn baby was found without a pulse or breathing in an apartment in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul neighborhood on Wednesday. Emergency medical teams from United Hatzalah performed resuscitation, successfully restoring a pulse before transporting the infant to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in serious condition. The incident has raised suspicions that the apartment was being used as an illegal birthing facility, operating outside of a hospital setting. According to witness accounts, at least three previous births at the location reportedly resulted in complications requiring resuscitation for the newborns. Police have detained the doula who assisted with the most recent birth for questioning. The emergency call was made following a report of a woman in labor. Upon arrival, the birth had already concluded, and the baby was with its mother. Medical professionals, including volunteer doctors Professor Geffrey Kuschk and Dr. Aryeh Yaffe, along with paramedic Shuki Beker and EMT Dudi Rosenwald from United Hatzalah's intensive care unit, administered advanced resuscitation. After the baby's heart began beating again, he was evacuated to the hospital for further treatment.
