A British charity worker in India has been blinded and paralysed by a potentially lethal snakebite.
Ian Jones, from the Isle of Wight, was bitten by a cobra in a village near Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
His family said he was "very frightened" by his condition although they hoped his blindness and leg paralysis were only temporary.
Mr Jones has previously suffered from malaria, dengue fever and coronavirus while in India, his son said.
The former healthcare worker was running a charity-backed social enterprise aimed at helping craftspeople trade their way out of poverty.
