Distressing footage: New born baby found dumped in a waste container in Iran
Reports suggest that the baby was uncovered earlier this week by a refuse worker in the capital Tehran. In the footage, the baby can seen to be moving, but still has its umbilical cord attached.
Medical sources confirmed to Iran Front Page, a state-backed English-language publication, that the baby’s cord had not been removed when it was found.
They said the child, a boy, was cleaned and taken to a nearby hospital.
It is believed he is now being kept at Amir al Momenin Hospital, which sits within the Naziabad district where the baby was found.
He is said to be in a generally stable condition after a tough start in life that came within hours of birth....
