A student who lost his thumb in a terrorist attack is finally able to do simple tasks again after having his toe transplanted onto his hand.
Student Irfaan-ul-lah, 22, from Kabul, Afghanistan, was caught up in a bomb blast two years ago that caused him to lose his right thumb and three fingers.
He described the past two years as ‘terrible’, saying the loss made it considerably more difficult for him to carry out even simple day-to-day activities.
Yet, after two years of desperately searching for a solution, Irfaan-ul-lah finally found a doctor who was able to perform the seven hour toe-to-thumb surgery.
Irfaan-ul-lah said: ‘Now I can at least perform my regular activities and am no longer dependent on others all the time.’
