Operation to separate twins a success

THE parents of Ireland’s little fighters have paid an emotional tribute to their twins’ “courage and strength” after the operation to separate them was declared a success.

“The sun is shining today for our two little fighters, who have won the battle of their lives,” an emotional Angie and Azzedine Benhaffhaf said.

They thanked the medical team at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London who operated on their four-month-old twins, Hassan and Hussein, over a marathon 14 hours on Wednesday. And they thanked the people of Ireland for their prayers and support.
