Inseparable

A pair of conjoined Palestinian twins, Rital and Ritaj, who came to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from the Gaza Strip to undergo separation surgery died in Riyadh on Saturday.
The two girls were born on March 27, the first ever in the impoverished Gaza Strip where doctors lacked the resources to treat them. They requested help from Saudi Arabia, which has world-renowned facilities for separating conjoined twins.
The twins ran into obstacles in getting there. They had to obtain passports from the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, permission from Israel and approval from the Egyptian government to open the border out of Gaza.
