A Congolese boy was left severely disfigured after he was brutally attacked by chimpanzees.Dunia Sibomana in the company of two others were attacked by a group of chimpanzees that jumped from trees while they were playing near a preserve in their native Democratic Republic of the Congo 2-yes ago.Unlike two others that died(Dunia's 4yr old brother and his cousin)after the attack,Dunia survived with his face severely disfigured.

His lips were ripped off while one cheek torn apart, leaving him with muscle damage that make it hard for him to eat, swallow and communicate.The 8-yr victim is expected to undergo a rare and complicated surgery at a Long Island hospital that will use tissue and muscle from his forearm to recreate both lips(a kind of plastic/mandibulofacial surgery). The hope is that he will once again be able to open and close his mouth, and eat and talk normally.

Dr. Leon Klempner, an associate professor of dentistry at Stony Brook Children's Hospital, where Dunia will undergo the operation, said:

 'As you can imagine, not having any lips, the food can just come right out.'He drools all the time and can't pronounce different words.'We're feeling very optimistic. We're hoping after the surgery he'll reintegrate into society and perhaps go back to school or have some semblance of a normal life.'

 He has been a subject of bullies by his peers since the attack.We wish him success in the surgery.
