Child survivor found after Comoros crash

 

Moroni, 30 June-(ANA)- - Rescuers have found a child survivor of a Yemeni airliner that crashed off the coast of the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros, a hospital official said.

"A child was found alive. He is now on a rescuers' boat," said Ben Imani, a doctor at Moroni's main hospital told reporters.

A Comoros Red Cross official confirmed the rescue.

"We have all that is needed - drips, equipment - to assist the child immediately," said Al fachad Salim.

It was not immediately clear if the child was the same survivor reported earlier in Sanaa by a Yemenia airline official. (ANA)
