VIDEO: This kid became the youngest person to get a double hand transplant

A young American boy has made history by becoming the youngest person ever to receive a ’double-hand transplant’.

Eight-year-old Zion Harvey lost both of his hands and feet to a life threatening infection - when he was just two years old - that caused multi-organ system failure.

The complicated procedure was carried out at the start of this month by a 40-member team of doctors, nurses and surgeons during a difficult 10-hour operation.
