Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hospital officials in northern Brazil say a woman have given birth to conjoined twin boys with one body and two heads.
Obstetrician Neila Dahas of the Santa Casa de Misericodia Hospital in the city of Belem says the twins were born Monday by Cesarean section.
She says on the hospital's website that each boy has his own brain and spinal cord, but they share all other organs, including the heart, lungs and liver.
Dahas says it is too early to tell how the twins will develop.
She says one of the boys is having respiratory problems and requires "special care."
The boys are named Jesus and Emanuel.
Calls to the hospital for more details went unanswered.
