Operation ordered by king to separate Syrian Siamese twins

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah has instructed Health Ministry officials to arrange for surgery to separate Syrian Siamese twins following a request from their parents, Sabq.org reported on Tuesday.
The two girls, Taqi and Yaqin, are conjoined at the head, but medical reports revealed that they have separate brains. The twins are now aged one year and eight months, the electronic daily said.
The relatives of the twins have expressed their gratitude to King Abdullah for his humanitarian gesture. They also thanked Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah for his care and support.
Sabq.org raised the case of the Syrian twins in a report published four months ago, which resulted in the royal approval to provide treatment and separate them.
Hussein Eissa Al-Khedr, their father who belongs to Reqqa, is a farmer and can't afford the operation.
