A Syrian man has appealed for King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to help treat his Siamese twin girls, saying they needed an urgent operation to be separated.

Hussein Al Khadr said he could not afford taking the twins to hospital as he is supporting a family of 11 in the war-ravaged Arab country.

Khadr, a farmer in the northern Syrian town of Al Raqqa, said his Siamese twin girls, Tuqa and Yaqeen, are now about 16 month old and need an urgent surgery.

“We are appealing for the King to help us given his noble stands in all fields, especially his many gestures of help for Siamese twins in various Islamic countries,” he told the Saudi daily Sabq, which ran a brief film of the twins.
