Niaomi Baker, 33, was due to fly back to the UK from Tunisia when she suffered a seizure onboard the plane and was rushed to hospital - where she was placed in an induced coma. The 33-year-old, from Kirkby, Merseyside, has remained bedbound in the costal city of Sousse two months after she collapsed. Niaomi suffers from epilepsy, autism and functional neurological disorder (FND), and her family are battling to bring her home for treatment. Although doctors have since brought Niaomi out of the coma, the Brit has not regained full consciousness.

Laylla said: "It's hard to explain what we're going through as a family. You see things like this on the news but you don't expect it to happen to someone you know." The cousin, who is also from Merseyside, said the family had no idea Niaomi left the country until she was told by one of her carers days after the plane incident. Laylla said she had concerns over why this happened, as she is her cousin's next of kin. The 33-year-old in a hospital bed ( Image: Laylla Baker / SWNS...
