Police and emergency services in Settat were mobilized yesterday, Tuesday, after the discovery of a newborn baby. This marks the second time an abandoned infant has been found in the city within a week, raising serious concerns.

The latest discovery occurred yesterday evening in the Nazalat Cheikh neighborhood. According to Hespress sources, the newborn was found alive, wrapped in cloth, near a traditional oven next to a passage leading to the Maimouna neighborhood. Authorities have launched a field and technical investigation to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding this incident.

This new case follows the discovery of another newborn just last Friday. That infant was found near a tin shop on Bir Anzarane Street, heading towards Hassan II Hospital in Settat. Both babies received all necessary first aid upon discovery.

Following instructions from the Public Prosecutor’s Office, both newborns are now being cared for in the Mother and Child department. Investigations are actively underway to determine the full details and circumstances behind these abandonments.
