Analyze:
Several Albanian-language portals have published, without verification, a video of a newborn baby being pulled alive from the ground in a field in India.
However, the aforementioned portals have claimed that the video footage shows a baby rescued after the September 8 earthquake that struck Morocco. This article is rated "Unverified Content".
Reasoning:
The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
