‘Fattest woman in the world’ weighs in at 79 stone and hasn’t left her bed for 25 years
Although her family have appealed to local hospitals in Alexandria for help, the 36-year-old has continued to get fatter.
Now her sister Chaymaa’ Ahmad Abdulati, has gone public in a bid to find a solution. Iman, whose father died when the girls were young, is cared for by her sister and mother who feed her, wash her and provide her with help in going to the toilet, as she could no longer walk there.
Iman was overweight as a child and never went to school
Iman weighed 11 lbs at birth and she put on too much weight as an infant, struggling to walk as a young girl because of her weight.
Chaymaa said Iman initially moved around using her hands and when she turned 11 she started to crawl on her knees, but was unable to walk out of her home, so she was unable to attend school,
She revealed her sister’s weight problem increased at the age of 11 after she suffered what they believe was a stroke that left her bedridden.
