The Girl Who Lives In A Bowl

SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: A TEENAGE girl born without limbs lives her life in a plastic bowl. Rahma Haruna is a bright, happy girl, despite suffering from a mystery condition that stopped her arms and legs developing properly leaving her practically limbless and in constant pain. The 19yearold, from Kano, Nigeria, was born a healthy baby but when she turned six months old her growth came to a sudden halt and she stopped hitting key development milestones. Rahmas family do their best to provide her with a fulfilling life and transport her around the village in a plastic bowl. Doctors have been baffled by Rahmas condition and some have even put it down to the teenager being struck down by jinns a supernatural being in Islam mythology.
