Homeless Mother To Give Birth Under The -15oC Weather In Germany

Winter has always been the hardest time for homeless people, especially when the temperature keeps plugging down. However, it’s heartbreaking to know that the newborn baby also had to suffer the freezing temperature.

Last week, German police found 2 women and a newborn baby sheltering at the training station of the city. The temperature that night was only -15oC (minus 15 Celsius equivalent to 5 degrees Fahrenheit).

They are found healthy under the freezing weather

After giving birth to the baby, the homeless and single mother tried to keep him warm inside the sleeping bag. The pair were found and sent to the local hospital for a check-up.

According to the authorities, the young woman was only 20 years old and she gave birth on her own with the support of her friend at 5 A.M. The mother and son were lucky to be found in the morning as it’s almost impossible for a newborn to survive the harsh temperature.

After the check-up, the doctor has confirmed that both of them are in good condition but they also need further support to recover from labor.

The nightmare of homeless people

Just like many other countries in the North, Germany is suffering from one of the most freezing winters with heavy snowfall in the century when the temperature keeps splurging down. On the contrary, the number of homeless people has been increasing due to the restriction in government shelters amid the lockdown.

Although many cities open hotels and hostels for homeless people, a large number of homeless people are found in public spots especially in the subway station. These vulnerable people are provided with minimum conditions and facilities. Although giving birth in such weather is tough and risky, it seems like they don’t have any choice left.
