SANAA, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) Doctors at a hospital in Sanaa, Yemen s capital, said a pair of newborn conjoined twins need to be sent abroad for a life-saving operation, local media reported Friday.
Authorities at the Al-Sabeen Hospital said a 30-year-old woman on Wednesday gave birth to the conjoined twins, who are attached to each other on the chest and abdomen, according to the Houthi-controlled Saba News Agency.
The mother s condition is stable, said the hospital, but the twins are in critical condition and have been placed inside an incubator.
The twins need an urgent operation to be separated, but the lack of medical personnel and necessary equipment made such an operation in Yemen impossible, said doctors at the hospital.

Nigeria abduction leaves questions
The good news is that more than 340 boys abducted last week from a secondary school in Nigeria’s northwestern state of Katsina have been released. Boko Haram has claimed responsibility, releasing a video with clips of the children spliced together with a message from the jihadist group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau.
