The tragic toddlers who look like OAPs before their second birthday

A RARE genetic disorder ages toddlers by decades, giving them little chance of surviving past the age of 13.

Two siblings, Anjali Kumari, seven, and Keshav Kumar, one, both suffer from an aggressive form of Progeria.

The rare illness, caused by a genetic mutation, only affects one in every four million births worldwide.

Heartbreakingly, the disease has caused their skin to wrinkle and sag, ageing their appearance by decades.

Not only do Anjali and Keshav battle continuous pain, they also have to put up with taunts from others in the local community in eastern India.

Anjali told MailOnline: “I know I’m different from others my age. I have a different kind of face, a different body, different everything.

"I have a swollen face while the rest of the world looks normal. People always stare at me and pass bad comments."

Cruel passers-by make jibes at the seven-year-old girl, comparing her to a grandma and a monkey.

Although both siblings are currently taking natural remedies in the hope of relieving their symptoms, the medicine doesn’t seem to be taking affect.

Their Dad, Shatughan Rajak, 40, earns just £45 a month in his job working as a laundry man and mum Rinki Devi, 35, cares for the kids full-time.

Both parents are attempting to raise enough money to fund medical treatment abroad.

Dad Satrughan said: “We’ve tried to get help from our local doctors but they have told us our only hope is from overseas.”
