Egyptian woman believed to be fattest woman on earth weight staggering 79 stone

36-year-old Egyptian woman Iman Ahmad Abdulati, is now believed to be the fattest woman on earth after her weight soared to 79 stone.

Abdulati from Alexandria, northern Egypt, who lives with her sister and mother has been stuck in her home for the last 25 years due to her weight problem.

Her sister Chaymaa’ Ahmad Abdulati went public with the problem in the hope of getting help after years of desperate attempts to solve the issue.

Her family say they believe she suffered a stroke when she was 11 which left her bedridden and adding on weight.

Iman can no longer walk by her self and needs help going to the toilet.

According to El Arabiya, Iman was born weighing an astonishing five kilograms.
She was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a parasitic infection that causes extreme swelling in a person's limbs and arms.

According to relatives, medics have previously stated that her problem may have been caused by a fluid retention problem which meant that large amounts of extra water are being retained in her body.

Her family feared she may die if she is not transferred to a hospital in Cairo for emergency surgery.

Iman has never been to school because of her weight problem and is also said to have been affected by the death of her father when she was young.
