Leeds teen forced to live off takeaways in hotel room as she battles health

A vulnerable teenager with a rare condition has been left homeless and forced to live in a Leeds hotel for weeks.

Jasmine Jackson, 19, from Leeds, claims she has been bounced from home to hotel as Leeds City Council are unable to find her a suitable temporary house until the refurbishment on her home is complete in July.

The 19-year-old suffers from a rare condition called nutcracker syndrome, which is a compression on the left hand side of her body meaning she throws up everything she eats and drinks. Her condition is so rare that only eight people in the UK suffer from it.
