Rescue operations are underway at an abandoned gold mine in South Africa, where it is feared that over 100 illegal miners have died from starvation or dehydration. Dozens of bodies have been recovered, with reports indicating that 82 survivors were pulled from the site as rescuers attempt to free hundreds still trapped underground. The situation remains dire, with the miners facing severe health declines and desperate conditions, including allegations of cannibalism among some trapped individuals. Authorities are struggling to manage the crisis while addressing the complex issues surrounding illegal mining in the region.
