His name is Yahya El Jabaly. The boy, who is now 3-years old, 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 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 healthy boy,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 village. Also 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 live a normal life.
Fortunately for him, the post calling out for help was read by Fatima Baraka, a Melbourne breast cancer survivor who was born in a village close to Yahya’s.
