The word 'orphaned' is most likely used figuratively as people do not usually associate the diction 'orphan' with a subject and the predicament. Therefore, this headline appeals to people's pathos as the word 'orphaned' insinuates to the wider picture, probably in an attempt to convey the meanings of 'isolation' or complete annihilation of the victim and the place.
