Five Tanzanian miners rescued alive after 41 days underground

Rescue services in Tanzania have been able to save five miners in Shinyanga after being underground for 41 days and given for dead. Six workers died.

Tanzania’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals’ spokesperson, Badra Masoud said the miners “lacked fresh air, food and water; they had to eat wood and frogs, and drank dirty water that came out from the mine. Towards the end they even drank their urine because the water wasn’t sufficient.”
