Miracles still happen! A two-year-old girl was found dehydrated but alive after she spent three days ALONE in a valley in the bushes.
According to IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson Paul Herbst, the two-year-old went missing in a rural area just behind Sundumbili.
“She was reported missing to police after failed attempts by the community to locate her.
“Search and Rescue teams were immediately deployed to the area but were unable to access it due to protesters who had blocked off all roads into the area,” Herbst said.
On Wednesday morning, the IPSS Security senior management and Search and Rescue teams returned to the area.
