A toddler who survived a gas blast in Pakistan is back in hospital suffering from serious breathing difficulties.

Mohammad Sudais suffered third-degree burns in the blast at his family’s home in Peshawar in December 2013 when he was a newborn.

The explosion claimed the lives of his father, 30-year-old Mohammed Ameen, his wife Sumaira and their oldest son, Abdul, 13 months.

He was brought to Glasgow to receive specialist care when he was three months old, with the first stages of his treatment branded a success by doctors.

His family now say they are worried for the two-year-old's life, after he underwent further surgery earlier in the week.

His uncle Mohammad Asif said: "Baby Mohammad is still in New Yorkhill Hospital for Sick Children and is having major difficulty with with his oxygen level and breathing.

"We are really worried for his life as during the night his oxygen level plus breathing is not good at all.

"He will remain in hospital for good number of days until the doctors find the exact cause of his problems.

"In the meantime baby Mohammad is in the best place and also in the care treated by the best doctors and wonderful nurses. Please keep him in your prayers."

Mr Asif mounted a campaign to have his baby nephew brought to the UK amid fears he would not survive in his home country.

He arrived in Glasgow in February 2014 for assessments at Yorkhill Sick Kids Hospital.
