Update:
More than 72 hours later, three are still intubated, relying on the machines to pump air into their tiny lungs. Mom is doing good.
The government helped her to safely deliver the babies, despite being so poor. I am pretty sure they will help her raise them too.
Her husband didn't see the babies, yet. He is staying back home to take care of their 29 months old daughter. Travel is difficult because of the pandemic, but he is arranging a trip for next week.
Before she gave birth, the combined weight of the babies and amniotic fluid inside her womb was 84 pounds!!
Doctors prescribed a mix of calcium channel blockers to control Cisse's blood pressure, and antispasmodic drugs and hormonal treatments to delay the delivery for as long as possible. When Cissé's contractions began, it took a team of more than 30 doctors and paramedics to deliver the nonuplets safely. The clinic says it plans to keep the nonuplets in care for at least three months, alongside their mother.
How many babies can fit into a woman womb?
There’s no scientific limit, but the largest reported number of fetuses in one womb was 15. The limit isn’t so much the number of babies as their volume and weight.
In 1971, Dr. Gennaro Montanino of Rome claimed to have removed 15 fetuses from the womb of a 35-year-old woman.
Google: Halima Cisse and Kader Arby to see many more pictures of the handsome couple. He is 35 and a soldier in the Malian Army, she is 26. Not a big age difference.
I recall seeing a picture of the mother with her husband. He looked quite a bit older than her.
9 years which is typical for that place. Believe it or not I heard about an 82 years age difference, the couple was from Ivory Coast. He still got her pregnant.

Yes, he was 100. It’s not listed because it happened in some remote village, I know about it because I know someone whose family is family is from there.
They aren't poor, he's a career military, she was also working. They have a 2 year old daughter. We still don't know if these are a natural birth or fertility treatment gone wrong. Lots of pics at the link below from their 3 day wedding.

They might not be dirt poor but they’re certainly not balling either. Anyways, the country just doesn’t have this types of healthcare facilities, definitely not in the middle of the Saharan desert...She’s from northern Mali. Hence why she was sent to Morocco to give birth. No way this is due to fertility treatment.

I do wonder if they went to a fertility clinic somewhere. They look like they're not hurting. They had a beautiful 3 day wedding
I googled, there's nothing new except that she required a lot of blood transfusions after the babies were delivered and that she was in serious shape before she got the blood.
However, BNN Africa reports that Halima Cissé’s nonuplets would still have to remain in the hospital at the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca for two more months as they are still under observation, Abdelkoddous Hafsi said.
He added that the weight of the five girls and four boys has increased significantly as they were being tube-fed.
When the babies were born, they weighed between 500g and 1kg (1.1lb and 2.2lb).
But they have now increased to between 800g and 1.4kg, the spokesman said.
“They are very immature babies. They have deficiencies in everything — at the level of the lungs, the head, the heart,” said Khalil Msaif, the clinic’s pediatric neonatologist.
But there’s also a quiet sense of optimism from staff on the babies’ future.
“Since the birth, we are in week three and the condition of the babies is stable... Most of the babies have had a good period without any problem. We hope that all will be well,” Msaif said.
In accordance with Islamic custom, the names of the newborns – who weighed in at 1.1lb to 2.2lbs - were revealed seven days after their birth last Tuesday.
Two of the nine babies were a total surprise as only seven had ever been spotted in scans.
Two of the boys, Mohamed and Bah, carry the names of the president of Mali and king of Morocco in gratitude to the help the two countries' authorities have given towards the safe delivery of the babies.
The names for the five girls are Hawa, Adama, Fatouma, Oumou and Kadidia. The two other boys are called Elhadji and Oumar.
