Emergency responders in Chingola, Zambia, have rescued a man trapped for over a week following the landslide believed to have killed dozens of illegal miners.
Emergency responders rescued a man from the scene of a mine disaster in Zambia more than a week after being buried.
The survivor, a 49-year-old, was saved Tuesday night at the scene of the landslide in Chingola, Zambia, by the country’s Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit.
He was transported to a local hospital after telling emergency responders he had been trying to escape the collapsed mine for days.
Police and local authorities say that the group of miners, who were illegally digging at the mine, were buried alive in tunnels after heavy rains triggered landslides late Thursday night.
