Nepal tumbles because the baby has 8 limbs

Thousands of people flocked to a remote village in Nepal to see an unusual baby born with four legs and four hands that many consider to be the embodiment of gods.

Risad was born in January.

The leg and leg of the boy named Risad is actually a headless twin brother stuck to the abdomen . Risad was born in Ramechhap village in the Himalayas in January this year with 4 legs and 4 hands.

For many locals, Risad is considered magical and embodies the Hindu gods of many Ganesh elephants.

Mother Januk Ghimire, 32, said she was used to the scene of crowded people coming to her house. On average, every day, about 100 people come to witness first Risad kid.

Many locals see the Risad kid as the embodiment of many gods Ganesh.

" About 5,000 went to Ramechhap. Some people are from very far places, by bus or on foot, " Prem KC, a local teacher said.

And Rikhi Ghimir, the father of the boy, said: " Some people saw me calling me the father of the elephant god. They came to worship the boy and give money. Sometimes they gave food and clothes. ".

The mother has many difficulties in caring for her.

Januk's mother said she had severe abdominal pain 5 days before birth and thought she could not survive when she fell asleep. Now, she has difficulties in taking care of her children. Simple everyday activities such as bathing or sleeping for babies are not easy.

Risad's parents are also worried that some people do not consider Risad a blessing but a disaster - premonition that this year's rainy season is late and has caused severe drought in many areas.

The family only expects Risad to have surgery to become a normal person.

Her parents, both poor and have two sons, said they only expected their son to be operated on to become a normal child. However, they did not dream about it because the cost of the surgery was too great, about $ 50,000.

Conjoined twins are rare in the world and occur only at 1 in 50,000-200,000 births. The survival rate of conjoined twins is about 25%.
