Moroccan Woman, 60 cm Tall, Aims to Break Guinness World Record for Shortest Adult

Very confident and in very good health, Fadoua, a 27-year-old woman from Fkih ben Salah, said she is grateful to God for his great blessing. Her dream is to beat the world record of the 25-year-old Indian girl.

In a statement to the site Al Oumk, her brother, a young man also of small stature, called on all Moroccans to share her story on social media, in order to help his sister become known.

Mohamed Aghrim deplores the lack of support from the Moroccan authorities, "We have solicited the services concerned in order to obtain the assistance reserved for people with special needs, without ever receiving a response," he said emotionally.
