Little fighters to return home within weeks

THE parents of Ireland’s conjoined twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf, who were separated in complex surgery in London in early April, hope to have their precious sons home in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork within a matter of weeks.

The twins, aged five months, were moved from their intensive care unit to a normal ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London on May 1 – weeks earlier than expected by their medical team.

Doctors continue to be pleased with their progress.
