The world’s only known surviving nonuplets, five girls and four boys who were born in Morocco, have finally flown home to Mali in West Africa with their proud parents at 19 months old.
Abdelkader Arby and Halima Cissé traveled home with their nine babies on Dec. 13 after 19 months of expert, round-the-clock care from Ain Borja Clinic nurses at a specially-equipped apartment in Casablanca. Their story hit headlines, and the thriving babies earned themselves a Guinness World Records title of most children delivered at a single birth to survive.
