There was a glimmer of hope for a 10-year-old boy who has been crippled by a rare skin disease.

Abshir Salat Gedi from Wajir County was yesterday flown to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) courtesy of well-wishers who were moved by his plight. Abshir suffers from a rare disease that he cannot even pronounce.
