Two young brothers have been rescued from a remote part of Brazil's Amazon rainforest after being lost for nearly four weeks
The children -- ages 7 and 9 -- were found near their hometown of Manicoré by a local resident on Thursday, their father told local media. The boys -- who are indigenous Mura people, who live in the central and eastern parts of Amazonas, Brazil -- had been lost for 27 days. The father said the search was"difficult" and involved police, firemen and Funai, the governmental protection agency for indigenous people.
The brothers were malnourished, dehydrated and with skin injuries, a representative from the State Department of Health of Amazonas told CNN.The boys survived their time in the forest by drinking rain and river water and eating a wild fruit called sorva. Their skin was covered with insect bites and scratches from tree branches, the health representative said.The boys were flown to an ICU unit in Manaus -- around 205 miles from where they were found -- with their parents on Thursday.
