The story of the Afghan baby surrendered over a wall to American soldiers | The Pentagon spokesman gave details of the fact

Images of a baby being pushed by the arm and stretched out by civilians towards US soldiers near the perimeter wall of the airport in the Afghan capital have gone viral.

In this video posted to Twitter on Thursday, a soldier can be seen holding the baby by one arm, then lifting it up to pass it over barbed wire.

Asked about these images, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said it was an “act of compassion.”

“A father asked the Marines to take care of the baby because he was sick,” he said at a press conference on Friday. “The marine who is seen stretching his arm took (the boy) to a Norwegian hospital which is at the airport. They treated the boy and returned him to his father,” he said. .

Kirby He admitted that he didn’t know where the baby was now.

“Obviously, we have the responsibility to return a child to its parents. I don’t know who the father is, and if he applied for” a special immigration visa (SIV). “I don’t have that level of information,” he continued.

The US military released several photos on Friday showing its soldiers caring for children on the grounds of Hamid Karzai International Airport.
