An Egyptian woman is believed to have become the fattest woman on the planet
after her weight ballooned to 79 stone.
Iman Ahmad Abdulati, 36, from Alexandria in northern Egypt, has not left her
home for 25 years because of her weight problem.
After years of desperate attempts to deal with the issue, her sister
Chaymaa’ Ahmad Abdulati has now gone public with the problem in the hope of
getting help. Iman currently lives in the family home with her sister and mother.
Her family believe she suffered a stroke at the age of 11 which left her
bedridden and piling on weight.
She needs help going to the toilet as she can no longer walk there herself.
According to El Arabiya, Iman was born weighing a staggering five kilograms.
She was diagnosed with elephantiasis – a parasitic infection that causes
extreme swelling in a person’s limbs and arms.
Relatives also say medics have previously stated her problem may have been
caused by a fluid retention problem meaning that large amounts of extra
water are being retained in her body.
It is feared she may die if she cannot be moved to a hospital in Cairo for
emergency surgery.
