A toddler who was born with no face is being given the chance to live a normal life thanks to the help of the same surgeon who separated Bangladeshi-born conjoined twins Trishna and Krishna.

Three-year-old Yahya El Jabaly was born with no eyes, a hole in the middle of his face where his nose should be and no upper jaw.The Moroccan born toddler, who lives in a small village six hours from Casablanca, was born deformed after complications in the womb stopped the bones in his face from fusing together.Despite his incredibly rare condition, Yahya managed to survive and grow into a happy and healthy toddler through the support of his adoring mother and father.However socially, he is automatically an outcast as his appearance is considered too confronting for many.The toddler's face is covered up whenever he leaves his small village and, due to lacking the roof of his mouth, he is unable to speak and can only communicate through grunts.Yahya's plight first went global when the father of his closest friend took to Facebook, pleading for medical professionals to help the boy lead a normal life.From across the world, the post was read by Fatima Baraka, a Melbourne breast cancer survivor who was born in a village close to Yahya's.'He's entered my heart...I'm so in love with this little boy,' Ms Baraka told Channel Seven's Sunday Night.'There was a big phone number in red [on the post], it was quite obvious that it was a cry for help of some sort and I found myself reaching for the phone and calling the number.'He [Yahya's father] said "I just want my child to look as normal as possible so he can go outside and play with the other kids".'
