A girl born in Manila, Philippines to a struggling family was the person anointed as the 7-billionth born in the world by the charity, Plan International.
Danica May Camacho, born in a crowded public hospital under the light of photographers’ flashbulbs. She was welcomed into the world with a chocolate cake marked 7B Philippines and a gift certificate for free shoes.
With millions of births – and deaths – happening around the world every day, it is impossible to pinpoint the exact arrival of this planet’s 7 billionth occupant, so the celebration surrounding Danica’s birth, which included speeches by officials, was more symbolic than anything else.

Hi NL team,
Kudos on the follow-up story on the Hathras case. I was wondering if there was a way for you to make the bank account details of the victims public so that we could make direct transfers to their account.
One way I feel to stop these crimes inflicted by the oppressor castes is to ensure we all come together and make the victims extremely rich. This way people would learn that crime against the already oppressed can backfire, which I feel can be a deterrent. This country needs a big altruism revolution so that we come to the rescue of fellow countrymen who are under strife.
