One of the nonuplets in incubator
A 25-year-old Malian woman has given birth to nine babies - two more than doctors had detected during scans.
Halima Cisse gave birth to the nonuplets in Morocco.
Mali's government flew her there for specialist care.
A woman who had eight babies in the US in 2009 holds the Guinness World Record for the most children delivered at a single birth to survive.
Two sets of nonuplets have previously been recorded - one born to a woman in Australia in 1971 and another to a woman in Malaysia in 1999 - but none of the babies survived more than a few days.
World record holder Nadya Suleman's octuplets have grown up and are now 12 years old.
She conceived them through in vitro fertilisation.
