Six-Year Old Vietnamese Boy Found Alive In Forest After 5 Days

A six-year old Vietnamese boy has been found alive after being missing in a Vietnamese forest.

Local media reported that Dang Tien Lam went missing on the 17th of August after he was playing with his 9 siblings and wandered off into the hills and got lost.

He was later found on Wednesday after local farmers heard a child’s cry while they were clearing a cinnamon field close to the forest.

It was reported that Lam was so tired that he was unable to stand up, even saying “I’m so tired, I can’t stand up, please carry me up,” according to local farmer Ly Van Nang.

“[The child told me] that when he got lost, he could not find his way home,” said Mr Nang, according to local news site Dan Tri.

“And the more he walked, the more he could not find a way out.”

Reports also stated that Lam managed to survive the 5 days on leaves, wild fruits and stream water.

The local police also stated that it was a “miracle” that Lam was still alive.

Local police described his survival as a “miracle,” especially after more than 150 people—including police officers, soldiers, and volunteers—searched for him without success.
