KINGSTON, Jamaica — A wave of hope and gratitude has swept across Jamaica following the successful separation of conjoined twins Azaria and Azora Elson. The life-altering surgery was performed earlier this week in Saudi Arabia by a skilled surgical team from the King Salman Humanitarian Mission. The announcement was made by Jamaica’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith, via social media on Thursday. ‘In our own difficult times, there are blessings for which we are grateful,’ Johnson Smith wrote. ‘For everyone who prayed for little Azora and Azaria, they were separated this morning by the expert team in Saudi Arabia.’ The minister also confirmed that while one of the twins will require additional heart surgery for an unrelated condition, both are currently in stable condition. The twins, who departed Jamaica in July 2025 for the complex procedure, received support from the Jamaican government and international partners, including the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (@KSRelief_EN), which spearheaded the medical intervention. Johnson Smith urged the public to continue praying for the twins, their parents, and all those involved in this humanitarian mission of love.
