Hargeysa, Somaliland, March 25, 2006 – Physicians in Somaliland has been unable to diagnose a disease that afflicted 3 sisters aged 15-yrs, 8-yrs and 12 months.

The 3 siblings lost teeth prematurely and suffered raptures in their skin and foot nails.

Ms Run Mohamed the mother of the 3 children says that despite being poor she has consulted every medical doctor in Somaliland to seek remedy for her daughters’ disease.

A board of health officers recommended that there was no local expertise or diagnostic facilities available to determine what was exactly wrong with the children.

Mother Run suspects that the disease could be contagious. She already lost 2 children while they were 4 and 6 years old.

Run’s husband is unemployed and the couple has been devastated by the deteriorating health condition of their 3 children.

The Somaliland Times appeals to Somalilanders in the disporra to seek help for these 3 children.
