Tragically deformed infant in India

It's Harlequin Ictyosis, and in severe cases like this unfortunate baby, they don't live long.
The skin in such cases gets so hardened that it cracks open, exposing the connective tissue/muscle underneath, leading to fluid loss and more suffering in addition to what was already mentioned above. I hope it died/dies fast.
