Burns baby set to return home to Iraq

A baby who suffered terrible burns in the Iraqi city of Basra and was flown to Britain for life-saving treatment is to return home next week, her father said today.

Mariam Ailan was aged just six months when she arrived at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool on March 31 following a 3,000 mile journey with her distraught parents Ailan Thameed and Hadia Zeboon.
