A woman has given birth to rare quintuplets in Ethiopia's Harari Regional state after 12 years of trying for a baby.
Bedriya Adem said she and her husband were "overjoyed" to be "blessed with five children at once".
The 35-year-old delivered four boys and a girl, all of whom are in "full health", at the Hiwot Fana Specialised Hospital, the hospital said.
"I cannot express my happiness in words," she told the BBC, recalling how she was "filled with depression and pain" until her prayers were answered.
Hospital medical director Dr Mohammed Nur Abdulahi said the mother and babies remained under medical care at the hospital. The babies weighed between 1.3 and 1.4kg (3lb).
