They seem to be suffering from Split hand/split foot malformation (SHFM) - a genetic disorder that is characterized by the complete or partial absence of some fingers or toes, often combined with clefts in the hands or feet.

The woman tells us that she is trying to get disability benefits from the government, in order to pay for the treatment and perhaps allow her family to lead a more normal life.
