‘Little fighters’ battle through tough days

IRISH twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf, who were separated in a 14-hour operation a fortnight ago, are stable and making progress every day, doctors in London said last night.

The boys, nicknamed the ‘little fighters’, remain in intensive care at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) where the complex surgery was successfully performed on March 7.

Their mother, Angie, who lives in east Cork, said the boys have had some tough days in the last two weeks but that the support from the public has kept her family going.
