1200 Babies Killed and Dumped on The Streets of Karachi in a Year

In some of Karachi’s biggest areas, the bodies of newborn babies are being dumped at an alarming rate.
It’s a story that would make the must ardent horror fan shudder, over the last year alone over 1200 newborn baby girls have been killed and dumped on rubbish dumps on the streets of Karachi, Pakistan.
News network CNN sent reporter Reza Sayah into Karachi to look at the situation that by aid workers own words is getting out of hand.
Anwar Kazmi of Edhi Foundation told Sayah “ Sometimes they are hanged, sometimes they are killed by knife, and sometimes we find bodies that have been burned”.

9 out of 10 bodies found are baby girls, disposed of by families because they are illegitimate, conceived out of wedlock. In a country where women are not allowed to work, girls are deemed as a drain on the countries resources. Many of the babies have been dismembered, burned, or even mutilated by animals before being discovered in large dump areas often in the middle of busy shopping areas.
Sayah went to a makeshift morgue set up by Edhi Foundation, where he found five corpses of babies found in the past two days alone.
Kazmi of the non profit making organisation placed a crib outside the headquarters of the foundation, in the hope that people will leave babies in the crib, rather than killing them, letting them live allows them to be found new families.

It is believed that poor education is to blame, with as many as 55 million Pakistani’s being illiterate, due to lack of education funding.
Edhi Foundation believe that with all the controversy, and internal wranglings that the plight of Karachi’s newborns is going unheard.
