A 38-year-old Saudi man weighing nearly 360 kg has appealed for authorities to help him have treatment to reduce his size.

Hussein Al Anzi said his heavy weight had caused him diabetes and other diseases and prompted his employers at the police department to retire him early.

“I am confined to my house because I can hardly move,” Anzi, a resident of the capital Riyadh, told the Arabic language daily Sabq.

“I appeal for the health ministry to help me have treatment to reduce my weight so I can return to my normal life.”
