Father of newborn conjoined twins appeals for help
The family's doctor says the babies are joined at the chest and the abdomen and separation right now is impossible.
He did not rule out a possibility they can be separated in the future.
My prayers are with these two newly born little girls and their family, that the future may give them a chance at an operation to separate them from one another and a chance for a normal life. I cannot help but believe there are reasons for births like this and an opportunity for God to be glorified in the lives of these beautiful babies.

HEBRON (Ma'an) -- The father of new-born conjoined twins on Monday appealed for help for his daughters in Hebron. The twins were born on Saturday in Israel's Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. They share a heart, and Israeli doctors decided the chances of a successful operation were very slim, after consulting internationally. They were discharged from the Jerusalem hospital on Sunday and taken to a public hospital in Hebron.
"My wife and I knew about the case since the third month of pregnancy. Our doctor told us that the two girls are joined. He decided to refer my wife to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital for delivery, and on May 29 she gave birth to two girls with two heads and a joint heart," the father told Ma'an. "I hope somebody from any country in the world would help us," he added.
