Benhaffaf twins in intensive care, but stable

Newly seperated twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf remain in intensive care this morning following their 14-hour marathon operation.

Doctors at Ormond Street Hospital in London say the four-month-old brothers are stable but not out of the woods just yet.

Their parents Angie and Azzedine Benhaffaf are keeping vigil by their bedside but say the twins have won the "battle of their lives".

The couple from Cork have relocated to London for the operation and the recovery, which could take months.

They parents have thanked everyone involved in the operation and all those who kept the boys in their thoughts and prayers.
