Cork twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf mark 10 years since separation surgery

- RTÉ 2 documentary on Monday covers their life and times in the past decade

The Benhaffaf twins who feature in the upcoming  documentary 'My Story: Hassan and Hussein - Born Connected'. 

A short documentary featuring the Benhaffaf twins, who were conjoined at birth, is set to air on RTÉ on Monday. My Story: Hassan and Hussein - Born Connected explores the extraordinary story of the Cork natives, who are now 11 years old and were born connected from chest to pelvis, sharing some vital organs, with one leg each.

Their mum Angie Benhaffaf, who also has two other children, has previously talked about how difficult the journey has been for the Carrigtwohill family. According to the NCBI in the US, the survival rate of conjoined twins is just 7.5%, with 60% of those who are surgically separated surviving.
