Baby found on doorstep in RAK is healthy, doctor says



A baby boy found abandoned on a doorstep in Ras Al Khaimah on Sunday is in good health.

"He is healthy and after an examination has been showing good signs of activity," said Dr Yousef Altair, the head of the accident and emergency department at Saqr Hospital. Further details on the baby and the whereabouts of his mother will be released soon, according to an RAK policeman.

The incident is one of several cases of babies being abandoned in the emirate. In April, a child thought to be no more than a few weeks old was left outside a mosque in the Old RAK area.

Low turnout
Two months before the first round on April 10, the appetite of voters for the election is low.

Mathieu Gallard, account manager with Ipsos, which conducted the most recent poll, said current forecasts suggested only two-thirds were "very likely" to vote in the first round, compared with a 78 per cent turnout in the 2017 presidential elections.

"It depends on how interesting the campaign is on their main concerns," he told The National. "Just now, it's hard to say who, between Macron and the candidates of the right, would be most affected by a low turnout."
