The Christian woman who lost the right side of her face in a bomb attack on her church in Cairo in 2016 flew to Germany for a complicated operation to rebuild her face, it was reported in November.
Samiha Tawfiq will first undergo some medical tests, but it is hoped the life-changing reconstruction will begin in December.
‘The doctors told me that they will take a piece of bone from my leg to reconstruct the missing side of my face,’ Samiha said. ‘They also told me they are going to restore the airway to my nose.’
Samiha was badly injured in the bomb attack on Cairo’s St Peter and Paul church, which claimed 27 lives and injured 49.
