“A delegation from the Consulate General of Philippines visited Al-Birr after seeing media reports and confirmed that the child belonged to a Filipino family,” he said.
A consulate official said the girl’s grandmother had announced that the girl was missing eight months ago through a blog.
The girl is now living in the society’s Dar Al-Zahra shelter and is in good condition, said Najla Al-Yami, manager of the society’s women’s wing.
Police found the girl abandoned in Sairafi Mall in a trolley. At that time she was one-and-a-half years old, and taken to hospital for necessary treatment.
For the last year, Sameera has been taken care of by Al-Birr. “We’ll hand over the girl to her relatives through official parties,” Al-Yami said.
