In 1985, a Colombian girl named Omayra Sánchez was trapped in a waist-deep volcanic mudslide. The rescuers could do nothing and knew they couldn't save her, so they could only do everything they could to comfort her... The little girl died 60 hours later.
On November 13, 1985, on a calm night, 12-year-old O'Mala and her aunt stayed in a small house in the Colombian town of Almero. She had just finished her homework and was about to rest when a loud noise woke them up. It turned out that the nearby Nelvado Druez volcano suddenly erupted, and a large amount of pyroclastic flows flowed down the mountain, destroying the world everywhere it went.
Before Omira and her aunt could escape, they were buried in the ruins of their houses by a pyroclastic flow. Omara clutched a wooden beam, and from the neck up was still exposed to the debris flow, but her whole body was buried in cold mud from the neck down, unable to move. To make matters worse, her aunt was tragically killed in the collapse, and her hands were still clinging to Omala's legs, making Omala completely unable to break free.
The next day, rescue teams came to the disaster area to launch a search and rescue. Hearing Omala's cries for help, rescue team members dug through the rubble and found her trapped for nearly 40 hours in critical condition.
But because her aunt's hand gripped Omala's leg, her hope of getting out of trouble was slim. The rescue team could only let Omara drink some water and eat some bread to feed her hunger, and then find a way to contact the rescue team using heavy machinery, but after a day and a night, the heavy machinery still did not arrive.
On the third day, French journalist Frank came to the disaster area to interview, accidentally saw Omara's tragic situation, and decided to come forward and personally contact the Colombian government to request the dispatch of heavy machinery excavation equipment.
However, the entire city of Almero is being hit by a volcanic mudslide, and with a shortage of heavy equipment, the government does not intend to mobilize equipment just to save a little girl, because it may delay the rescue of many others.
When Frank told O'Mala the bad news, she didn't react much, just said lightly, "I understand, let's save others first." Frank looked at Omala's pale little face and her strong smile, and felt very sad inside.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Omara ushered in the last moments of her life in despair. Frank witnessed the whole process and took that famous black-and-white photograph of her after her death. This photograph documents the strength of a little girl to survive in a desperate situation, and has become a symbol of the brilliance of humanity in this volcanic disaster.
Omala's experience shocked the world. People are reflecting on whether we are not thinking enough about major disasters. Perhaps it may not seem cost-effective to mobilize heavy equipment to save a little girl, but how can it be efficient for the meaning of a life!
If we had listened to our inner voices and had a little more love and courage, perhaps Omara's ending would not be so sad. This disaster reminds us that the fate of individuals is equally important in the relief process, and we must remember that saving one life is saving the entire world.
When the shrill sound of the plane stopped, a solemn concern overshadowed the scene. This heavy engine noise sounded to the ears of the survivors like a flute of pain. No one knows who will be next. People can only curl up together, waiting for the inevitable fate.
Despite the noise of fear and uncertainty, there is still a light of hope in human nature. A young doctor named Fernando risked his life to walk through the rubble-strewn rubble just to treat the wounded. He knew that every life he saved in this catastrophe meant the hope of a family.
Meanwhile, a young female teacher named Maria, with her few remaining students, scrubs the streets for food and water. Despite the devastation of the town, Maria persevered in finding survivors and distributing relief supplies to them. She knew that even a small gesture of kindness would light up hope for life on this desperate night.
As Frank trudged alone through the rubble, he saw Dr. Fernando. Fernando's face was covered in dust and blood, but he was still dressing the wounds. Frank asked Fernando to go and take care of O'Mala, but Fernando smiled wryly and shook his head. "There are so many people who need to be treated, I have to stay here."
At this time, Maria came over and said to Frank, "Let me go see the poor girl." Even if she's gone, I hope I can do something for her. So Maria came to Omala, took her cold hand, and sang softly for her.
Although the outcome is a foregone conclusion, the goodness of human nature still shines. Omala's tragedy reminds us that in the face of suffering, we must remain humane. As long as people have good intentions, even a glimmer of hope can ignite the darkness.
