She took a seat behind her daughter for the three-hour flight as medics monitored Tafida as she breathed through a ventilator.

Tafida, an outwardly perfectly healthy, happy little girl who had just started school, was left brain damaged in February when a blood vessel burst in her brain.

Tafida’s family are funding her stay with public and private donations.

Tafida's mother and her father, Mohammed Raqeeb, of Newham, east London, had said life-support treatment should continue and they should be allowed to move their daughter to a hospital of their choice.
