Miamouna Al-Amin celebrated her 122nd birthday in her hometown in Akkar
On the eve of the New Year, Miamouna Al-Amin celebrated her 122nd birthday in her hometown of Aldababi, Akkar. She was in the company of her son Hassan who was born in 1931 and her
grandchildren. Al-Amin was born in 1890 according to her official ID, but she claims that she is older than that: “I was born in the town of Fneideq. I married Khalid Hassan Sabha and then moved to Aldabiba 100 years ago," Al-Amin said.
Talking about her other half, who died 38 years ago, she tells us she immediately fell in love after meeting him.
Al-Amin has only visited a doctor once in her whole life when she suffered from Glaucoma. She still enjoys a very good health and a strong memory. The secret to her health lies in avoiding fatty food and subsisting on vegetables, cheese, milk and eggs. Also, she doesn't smoke and remains active.
Al-Amin lives with her son Hassan in a very modest house. She has a lot of visitors and welcomes them all - however, she has criticised the authorities for not taking care nor offering her any help, especially in this age.
Hassan described his mother as "a miracle." He explained "she still looks young but we would like to call on the state to give her the care she needs as the world's oldest woman."
