Benhaffaf twins set to walk next year

FORMER conjoined twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf could walk unaided for the first time as early as next year, after being fitted with a prosthetic limb each.

The 22-month-old toddlers from Cork are undergoing physiotherapy sessions to get accustomed to their artificial legs, which they wear for an hour every day.

It’s a remarkable development, given that the odds of the boys surviving surgery to separate them when they were just five months old were more than a million- to-one.
