A mother has given birth to conjoined twins in a part of Syria that has seen some of the war’s heaviest fighting.<\/p>\n
Nawras and Moaz, who are joined at the chest with protruding intestines, were born in the city of Douma in July.<\/p>\n
They have now been safely transferred by ambulance to a children’s hospital in nearby Damascus.<\/p>\n
Syrian doctors had appealed for help from the World Health Organization, saying the twins would die if they were unable to undergo surgery.<\/p>\n
