3 babies abandoned in Sharjah

Three babies, including a boy aged over five months and two Filipina-looking girls, have been found in Sharjah over the past few days and officials said it was the first time children with that age are dumped in the emirate.

The boy was found in a dummy car in one area and medical tests conducted at Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah showed he was in good condition.

One Filipina-looking girl aged around two months was found wrapped in front of a villa in another neighborhood while the third baby, who also looks Filipina and is around one-week old, was dumped near a mosque, press reports said.

“The hospital has received many babies without known parents but it is the first time that a baby aged five months is dumped,” said Naeema al Nakhi, director of the social services section at Al Qassimi Hospital.

“The strange thing is that his parents have looked after him all this time and have even circumcised him….the boy has surpassed the difficult stage and that even makes it stranger…he looks Arab and had never stopped crying at the hospital before he was transferred to the social care centre in the emirate.”

Quoted by the semi official daily Alittihad, she said the one-week-old baby has also been taken to that centre while the two-month-old girl remained in hospital for more tests after she was left unattended on the road.

Alittihad said the three babies could be granted the UAE citizenship under the 1972 federal law which stipulated granting nationality to foundlings.
