The medical staff in Iraq was shocked to learn that a newborn infant with one eye had been delivered.

A weird one-eyed baby was reportedly delivered in a hospital in the Dhi Qar region of Iraq, but the infant passed very soon after birth.

The child’s photo, which shows that the child’s face has one eye instead of two in the centre, is going extremely popular on social media.

According to the doctor, it is rare for a kid to be born with one eye, and this is caused by either the mother’s or father’s blood not being uniform or by a germ that was present in the mother’s stomach during the pregnancy.

Another physician said that the child’s shrinking brain tissue may potentially be the cause of this unusual delivery.

Only seven of these terrible incidents have reportedly been documented worldwide, with the first being the birth of a kid with one eye in 1665.
