When the plane landed, I informed the airport staff about the babies so they could make sure everything was handled properly.
The authorities worked to locate their family and checked all available records, but no one came forward immediately. The situation was carefully reviewed, and the children were placed under temporary care while officials tried to understand what had happened.
