What do you suppose her daily caloric intake has to be, to have put on more than a thousand pounds more than an average Egyptian woman would weight? And, since she’s become trapped in her dwelling due to her tremendous girth, who’s bringing it to her? She’s not some strange human Air Fern getting beyond morbidly obese by osmosis. She’s eating it.

Her family believe she suffered a stroke at the age of 11 which left her bed-ridden and piling on weight... 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 by a fluid retention problem which means a large amount of extra water is being retained in her body. It is feared she may die if she cannot be moved to a hospital in Cairo for emergency surgery. She never attended school because of her weight problem.
