[h=3]A HEARTBROKEN dad cradles his 18-month-old daughter, who suffers from a rare disorder which has caused her head to swell to three times its normal size.[/h]Roona Begum, from Agartala, in north eastern India has hydrocephalus - a build up of cerebrospinal fluid inside her skull.
Sufferers typically experience loss of coordination and speech and in long-term cases it can result in mental disability and death.
A treatment is available, in which doctors drain the fluid.
But India has no NHS and Roona's dad, 26-year-old Abdul Rahman, earns less than £2 a day working in a brick factory and can't afford to pay for her to be treated privately.
Suffering ... family can't afford cost of treatment
