Cea mai bătrână femeie din lume a fost găsită în India, în timpul campaniei de vaccinare împotriva noului coronavirus. Medicii care i-au bătut la ușă au aflat că aceasta are 124 de ani, după ce i-au cerut un act de identitate. Astfel, Rehtee Begum poate fi considerată cea mai bătrână femeie de pe planetă, fiind cu șapte ani mai mare decât Kane Tanaka, femeia din Japonia care deţinea recordul la vârstă. Dacă acest lucru va fi confirmat oficial în urma analizelor, femeia va doborî și recordul lui Jeanne Calment, o franțuzoaică decedată în 1997 la 122 de ani. Ea a fost recunoscută oficial drept cea mai bătrână femeie din istoria omenirii.
