Iman Ahmad Abdulati has not left her home for 25 years - since she was 11-years-old - because of her weight problem

After years of desperate attempts to deal with the issue, her sister Chaymaa' Ahmad Abdulati has now gone public with the problem in the hope of getting help.

Iman currently lives in the family home with her sister and mother.

Although her family have appealed to local hospitals in Alexandria for help, the 36-year-old has continued to get fatter.

Iman, whose father died when the girls were young, is cared for by her sister and mother who feed her, wash her and provide her with help in going to the toilet, as she could no longer walk there.

Iman weighed 11 lbs at birth and she put on too much weight as an infant, struggling to walk as a young girl because of her weight.

Chaymaa said Iman initially moved around using her hands and when she turned 11 she started to crawl on her knees, but was unable to walk out of her home, so she was unable to attend school,

She revealed her sister's weight problem increased at the age of 11 after she suffered what they believe was a stroke that left her bedridden.

Doctors believe her condition is caused by fluid retention, meaning that large amounts of extra water are being retained in her body.

She was also diagnosed with elephantiasis - a parasitic infection that causes extreme swelling in a person's limbs and arms.

At nearly 1102lbs, Iman smashes the current record recognised by the Guinness Book of Records, which the heaviest woman alive is Pauline Potter from Sacramento, who weighs in at 641lbs.

The fattest woman ever was American Rosalie Bradford, who weighed 1190lbs, but she died of heart failure in 2006.

The world's fattest man, Andres Marino, was 980lbs but died on Christmas day last year.

British mum-of-two Louise Hanner recently told how she shed 168lbs after a cruel note branded her a "fat lazy cow."

With her weight tipping 1102lbs, Iman's family has posted a desperate plea online to Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi asking for medical assistance.

They fear that she may die without radical medical treatment at Maadi Military Hospital, in the country's capital city Cairo.
