Thousands of children go missing or are abandoned each year in Pakistan. But one charity is determined to save them.
Every year in Pakistan, thousands of children go missing or are abandoned on the streets of Karachi. Some are found dead in the streets amid piles of rubbish.
"Some days we pick up people that have been shot to death. Other days, people that have been killed in road accidents or in derailed trains," says Achgar, a paramedic in Karachi, one of the world's most violent cities.
"But the most difficult is when we pick up innocent babies … that's unbearable," says Achgar, recalling how he recently picked up the body of a newborn at 6am. He suspects the baby was killed by its own parents.
