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.’
