Parents of quadruplets, born at Aweil State Hospital in Northern Bahr Ghazal of South Sudan, are appealing for assistance to raise the children.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 45-year-old Anei Anei’s wife Ayak Koryom Majok, a 28-year-old woman, gave birth to the quadruplets on Sunday.<\/p>\n Mr. Anei, a subsistence farmer, is seeking support from authorities and well-wishers to help raise his children, as he struggles to feed his family amid poverty.<\/p>\n The blessed father said that he is like other ordinary residents of the state who hardly make ends meet.<\/p>\n All he hopes is that well-wishers will come to their aid since the babies need nourishment.<\/p>\n Anei further said they are happy with the great gift but worried about how to take care of them (the babies) as they are financially weak.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are glad for the gift as a family, and we see that these are gifts to the people of Mading Aweil and South Sudan as a whole,\u201d he said. \u201cI am appealing to everyone to support us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that our country is facing economic woes, and as a result, people struggle on their own, but the government has to lend a helping hand,\u201d Anei pleaded.<\/p>\n The quadruplet\u2019s father maintained that it would be much better if the government advocated for those four babies’ support by consulting partners like\u00a0Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs).<\/p>\n \u201cThe government can step in to support these babies by contacting the organizations. Even one child is a big problem for us parents who are destitute, let alone the four that we have received,\u201d he decried.<\/p>\n For his part, the director of the Aweil Civil Hospital, Santino Jan Tong, said the babies are sound and well.<\/p>\n \u201cIt depends on how their monitoring situation unfolds. But their signs indicate that they are fine; no worries,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n The quadruplets include two boys and two girls. All four babies were born healthy with varying weights, according to health workers.<\/p>\n The first baby weighs 1.2 kg, the second 1.9 kg, the other 1.4 kg, and the last weighs 1.6kg.<\/p>\n According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a baby boy at birth should weigh 3.3 kg, and a baby girl has to weigh at least 3.2 if the baby has completed the nine-month pregnancy period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Hou Akot Hou Parents of quadruplets, born at Aweil State Hospital in Northern Bahr Ghazal of South Sudan, are appealing for assistance to raise the children. 45-year-old Anei Anei’s wife Ayak Koryom Majok, a 28-year-old woman, gave birth to the quadruplets on Sunday.
