In a generous act, a Saudi woman in Taif donated 80 per cent of her liver to her husband's second wife, effectively ending her long battle with kidney failure.
Noura Al Shammari donated her kidney to Taghreed Al Saadi after seeing her undergo dialysis for years.
The husband, Majed Al-Roqi, previously donated one of his kidneys to ease her suffering after she endured years of travelling to the US in search of treatment.
The transplant was successful and the act was hailed locally as an extraordinarily selfless act.
