Gaza Siamese twins transferred to Saudi hospital: media

The twins, daughters of a man named in the reports as Yasser Abu Assi, were born in Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli blockade since June 2007 and where medical facilities are poor.
Arab News cited Saudi Health Minister Abdullah al-Rabeeah as saying the twins would be examined by surgeons with a view to performing an operation to separate them.
At least 20 such operations have been successfully carried out in the oil-rich Gulf monarchy in the past 18 years, with most of the costs being borne by members of the royal family.
