A Yemeni couple whose three-year-old was treated for a rare neurological disorder in Delhi is now caught in a quandary, with no home to go back to and other recourse in a strange land.

Mahmood Shaker Edres (32), a mechanical engineer from Aden, his wife Buthina (28) and two children Shaker (3) and Ekhlas (1) arrived in India in February on a six-month medical visa. Shaker was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis, a condition that causes problems with normal brain and skull growth.
