Maneerang yelled for help and several neighbours appeared to call the emergency services.

She said: ‘I had finished work and I was collecting bottles when I saw the hairdryer box. I wanted to see if their was anything valuable inside, then when I looked I saw the little baby girl.

‘I was frightened and didn’t know what to do. I just shouted for help and said ”there’s a baby here, somebody call the police and an ambulance”.’

Paramedics from the local rescue foundation arrived and took the girl into an ambulance where she was given oxygen while being cleaned.
