Aleeyah underwent her liver transplant at the Chang Gung Memorial hospital in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in June.

Grace Carungay, her sister, who was the liver donor for the operation, and Aleeyah returned to the Philippines last month to continue the recovery process.

Grace Carungay and her daughter Aleeyah, who is recovering from a liver transplant, have thanked the UAE for their support.

Aleeyah had biliary atresia diagnosed after she became jaundiced at the age of two months.

Mrs Carungay took the decision to have the operation for her daughter Aleeyah in Taiwan because it was not possible to schedule one earlier in the Philippines.
