Conjoined girl twins Haneen and Farah of the Palestinian territory of Gaza have been successfully separated by a life-saving operation. However, the baby girls were flown to Saudi Arabia as their complex conditions need advanced health facilities, says doctor.
Though the babies have their separate hearts and lungs, they used to share a leg. To separate them, the operation took place at King Abdullah Children's Hospital in Riyadh.
While there were no good health facilities at Gaza, the doctor asked the girls' father to take them to Suadi Arabia in order to avoid risks of the twins' lives.
