Boy With Giant Eye Tumour Saved By Facebook Appeal

A YOUNG boy can have the life-changing operation he so badly needs thanks to a viral Facebook post.


A giant tumour grew from Anil Arya's left eye after he developed a rare eye cancer. But the six-year-old's family had no way of raising the cash needed for his surgery –which will cost more than £1,000.
But thanks to a good samaritan who shared a photo on social media, the youngster from Bageshwar in India has been flooded with donations from all over the world.

Gurvinder Singh Chadha wanted to help Anil so he launched a Facebook appeal which quickly went viral.

Shark KILLS Man in New Zealand Attack

A shark has killed a man off a beach near the New Zealand city of Auckland.
The attack took place around 13:30 (00:30 GMT) on Wednesday at Muriwai Beach, to the west of the country's largest city.

The 47-year-old man was swimming when he was attacked. Police shot at the shark before it disappeared, they said in a statement.

Shark attacks are rare in New Zealand. Only 11 fatal attacks had taken place since records began in 1847, TVNZ said.
