Pictures making rounds on the internet shows the moment an Afghan mother hands her suckling baby over a barbed fence to an American army as a last resort to save her baby’s life at the Kubul Airport.
The heartbreaking scene played out at the wall around the Kabul airport — where thousands of Afghans are trying to flee from the Taliban-controlled country.
The marine was filmed plucking the baby, reported to be a girl, from a crowd of desperate Afghans at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Standing guard on top of the fence, he lifted the girl up by her arm and passed her off to a fellow marine alongside him.
