Separate, but still a team

SEPARATED at last but together forever – Ireland’s miracle twins showed last night that they will forever share a special bond.

Little Hassan and Hussein Benhaffhaf, who have made a remarkable recovery since their marathon separation surgery 10 weeks ago, held each others’ hands – just as they did when they were conjoined – as they and their family were accorded a civic reception in Cork.

“They interact with each other, hold each other and touch each other the same way they did when they were joined,” their mum Angie said.
