Shock in Egypt: Finding Baby Fetuses in the Garbage Causes Horror

On Saturday, February 14, 2026, a tragic incident shook the residents of Minya, southern Egypt, and sparked widespread outrage.
In the Kdwan area, a local resident suspected a large "bag" lying near a garbage storage site, and upon inspection, was shocked to find several human fetuses inside, in a scene described by eyewitnesses as "shocking and tragic."
Immediately, security forces and investigation officers arrived at the scene, and a tight security cordon was imposed to conduct an examination.
The initial investigations revealed that the fetuses were "surrounded by the placenta," suggesting they resulted from recent abortions.
The fetuses and the seized contents were transported to the hospital, while security authorities began their investigations to uncover the circumstances of the incident, amidst a state of anger and condemnation among the city's residents.
This incident sparked a wide discussion in Egyptian society about the dangers of illegal abortions and the importance of health awareness, while authorities continue their investigations to identify those responsible for this shocking incident.
