He informed the police about the situation, and patrol, ambulance and forensic personnel rushed to the spot and shifted her to Al Qasimi Hospital where she is currently receiving the necessary medical care.

The forensic expert lifted fingerprints and collected other pieces of evidence. The police have launched a search for the person who dumped the baby in the garbage container, endangering her life.
