Sometimes life gives you more that you would have ever wished for and this is something Ghazala Khamis and her husband can testify to! Ghazala saw a fertility doctor and was hoping above all hope to be able to have a boy as she already has three girls! Well instead she got 3 boys, along with 4 girls all at once. Yes she had: septuplets! This poor Egyptian family has gotten a lot of media attention but what many have not realized is that this mother and father of 10 will need support!

Seeing as which their father is a farmer and with the ongoing problem with bread and inflation, these kids could starve! In addition to this the parents want their children’s lives to be different to theirs; their father wants them to be educated and doesn’t want them to grow up as farmers! The government has pledged to provide milk and diapers for the septuplets during their first two years!
