Three-day-old Iman and Amani Palestinian Siamese twin girls from the Breiwesh family lie on a incubator in the newborns unit at the Alia Hospital in the West Bank city of Hebron on June 03, 2013. Their mother received permission from the Israeli government to deliver at Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital, but the girls were born with one stomach and two hearts connected in one organ, according to Israeli doctors. The woman was warned by Palestinian doctors during prenatal checkups that she had Siamese twins but she refused to terminate her pregnancy because of her religious beliefs. The Hebron-based family now hopes Saudi Arabia will take the girls in charge and determine whether an operation would be an option. Photo by Mamoun Wazwaz
