Checkout conjoined twins born in Gaza with two heads, two hearts and one body fighting for life in incubator

These babies, born with two heads, two hearts, two lungs, two spines and two hands and legs, but only one chest and one stomach.

The twin were born on Tuesday November 22, and are the first conjoined babies recorded for many years in the Palestine city.

Born at al-Shifa Hospital in Ma'an at 11am, the babies have two heads, two hearts, two lungs, two spines and two hands and legs, but only one chest and one stomach.

Dr Ayman al-Sahbani, head of the emergency and media department at the hospital, added that this is a very rare condition.

The gender of the unnamed little ones remains unclear, as they have been called male in some reports and female in others.

 

Al-Shifa - which means "house of healing" in Arabic - is the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, with a specialist neonatal unit for dealing with premature and special births.

In 2010, the first conjoined twins ever to be born in Gaza died after being rushed to Saudi Arabia for specialist treatment.

 

 

 

 

Saudi Arabi's world renowned facilities for dealing with conjoined twins were offered by King Abdullah.

But their path to treatment was reportedly filled with setbacks including passport and travelling rights from the disputed territory where they were born. They died at the age of two weeks from a bacterial chest infection.
