A traveler who is being led to safety in the pitch-black evening while wailing in pain and exclaiming,” God is greatest,” was seen being ridden by a rescuer wearing an AFP video that was shared with them.
One of the hikers who was saved, Zhafirah Zahrim Febrina, is depicted in a video message from the mountain pleading with her mother for assistance.
The 19-year-old pupil had burn marks on her face and matted grey dust in her hair, and she appeared shocked.
” Mother, assist Ife. This is Ife’s situation at the moment,” she said, using her nick name.
After getting stuck on the hill while hiking with 18 class friends, she is now in a local hospital with her father and uncle.
She is undergoing a huge trauma, according to her 39-year-old family Rani Radelani.
She was psychologically affected because she could see her fires and had to stay in pain all day.
Volcanoes HALTEDRESCUE
Sporadic eruptions, according to Jodi Haryawan, a local rescue organization spokeswoman, had disrupted the search, but it was still ongoing despite the dangers.
” Once it was safer, they carried on with the research.” So, he told AFP, the hunt was never stopped.
The West Sumatra Disaster Mitigation Agency’s Rudy Rinaldi informed AFP that some of the rescued trekkers had fires.
He claimed that those who were hurt were the ones who drew nearer to the crater.
A list of those discovered from Basarnas, a regional search and rescue agency, seen by AFP, showed that at least eight persons had fires; one had fractures and burn marks, and another had head wounds.
Ash weather was seen after the volcano and had already reached Bukittinggi, the third-largest area in West Sumatra with a population of more than 100,000, according to Ahmad Rifandi of the Mount Marapi monitoring station.
After the explosion, a plume of smoke and dust covered near cars, scooters, and ambulances while blocking out the sun.
Authorities have imposed a three-kilometer rejection zone around Marapi’s crater because the city is on the next call level of the four-step system in Indonesia.
The Indonesian island is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where there is a lot of volcanic and tectonic activity due to the convergence of western panels.
The nation of Southeast Asia has almost 130 active mountains.
Febrina’s community was relieved that she was one of the fortunate ones as the search for the missing 12 hikers continued.
A part of the recovery services delivered great news in the form of a broadcast on the video app TikTok, in which Radelani observed her visibly shaken daughter.
Radelani remarked,” It felt amazing, reward God she has been found.”
” I’ll say no if she asks me to let her walk a rock.”
