The young girl was found in a wooded area that had only recently become accessible after the floodwaters receded, about 800 meters from her family’s house. The site had previously been searched, officials said, but in the early phases of the rescue operation, it was challenging to navigate due to the unstable ground and heavy debris.

One of the responding officers stated, “She was lying peacefully.”
“There were no overt indications of difficulty. However, we all fell silent when we saw her face.

A Heartbreaking Moment for Everyone
To protect the privacy of the family, the girl’s identity has not been made public; however, police have confirmed that she was the youngest of the 27 people who went missing. The moment of discovery was characterized as “deeply emotional” by first responders and volunteers who had participated in the search.

One rescuer remarked, “In the last few weeks, we’ve seen so much.”
However, this time was different. The whole town seemed to have stopped breathing.
