Halima Cisse from Mali gave birth to five girls and four boys by caesarean section in Morocco on Tuesday after being sent there for special care. She is 25-year-old and her newborns were doing well. Mali is one of the world's poorest countries.  And under government orders, Cisse's doctors sent her to Morocco to provide better health care for such a rare multiple pregnancy.  

She gave birth prematurely at 30 weeks and is now in stable condition after heavy bleeding for which she was given a blood transfusion. The babies have been placed in incubators in a room of the clinic.  Like the mother, they were not expecting nine babies.
