HEBRON (Ma'an) -- The father of new-born conjoined twins on Monday appealed for help for his daughters in Hebron.
The twins were born on Saturday in Israel's Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. They share a heart, and Israeli doctors decided the chances of a successful operation were very slim, after consulting internationally.
They were discharged from the Jerusalem hospital on Sunday and taken to a public hospital in Hebron.
"My wife and I knew about the case since the third month of pregnancy. Our doctor told us that the two girls are joined. He decided to refer my wife to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital for delivery, and on May 29 she gave birth to two girls with two heads and a joint heart," the father told Ma'an.
"I hope somebody from any country in the world would help us," he added.
The family's gynecologist Walid al-Atawna explained that the girls are joined at the chest and the abdomen. He said it would be impossible to separate them now, but did not rule out an operation in the future.
