The plight of South Africa's household fire victims
A three-year-old South African girl is in recovery in a Johannesburg hospital after undergoing rare skin graft surgery.
She suffered severe burns to 80% of her body when a container of fire lighting liquid exploded at a family barbecue.
Her story has highlighted the plight of some of the 15,000 children who are victims of household fires in Africa every year.
