A nine‑day‑old “miracle” rescue has sparked renewed optimism that additional flood victims may still be alive. Survivors were pulled from the wreckage of a river‑swollen town after rescuers, using specialized equipment and canine units, finally located a pocket of air‑filled debris where a family had taken shelter. Officials say the find underscores the importance of continued search efforts, even as water levels recede and mud‑covered structures are cleared. The dramatic save has galvanized local and international aid groups, prompting a surge in resources aimed at locating any remaining survivors before the window of chance closes.
