A surgical team has successfully separated Syrian Siamese twins Ihsan and Bassam at the King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital at King Abdulaziz Medical City of the National Guards in Riyadh. The twins were attached in the lower chest, abdomen, liver, and intestine areas.

The number of people aged over 100 in Italy hit a record high last year, the national statistics office said on Friday, as the average age of the population grows at a faster pace than its European Union peers. In its annual report, ISTAT said the share of the population aged over 100 had tripled since the beginning of the century and totalled almost 22,000 people as of January this year, most of them women, Reuters reported.

The Siamese twins were accompanied by their parents, after being transported from Ankara, Turkiye, via an air medical evacuation plane.
