Manila hospital copes with baby boom

A new baby is born in the delivery room at the government-run Jose Fabella maternity hospital on Aug. 18, 2012, in Manila, Philippines.

At the government-run Jose Fabella maternity hospital in Manila, 65 to 100 babies are born per day. The city itself has a population of about 20 million people which is rising by another quarter of a million every year.

Due to overpopulation, a third of the city dwellers are forced to live on any bit of spare land they can manage to find, including living under bridges, railway lines - even cemeteries.
