Greece’s Halki Island Celebrates First Baby Born in Almost 50 Years
The residents of the picturesque tiny island of Halki in Greece’s Dodecanese have been particularly happy recently as their homeland saw its first baby being born on the island in approximately 50 years!
A few days ago, a little baby girl was born on the island, as the helicopter of Greece’s National Health Service did not manage to arrive in time to transport the pregnant woman to Rhodes, where she had planned to give birth to her new baby.
Thus, the woman came into labor in the only clinic that exists on the island.
