A 12-year-old girl has left doctors speechless after crying stones instead of tears.
Saadiya Saleh, who lives in a village in Yemen, produces the small, hard stones beneath her eyelids.
They are then naturally pushed to the front of her eyes, before falling down her cheeks.
A video of the bizarre phenomenon was posted on YouTube by Yemeni television channel Azal.
Footage shows Saadiya lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and relatives - one of whom can be seen brushing a stone out of the child's eye with a cloth.
