| Guatemala City - A seven-year-old Guatemalan girl survived 16 days alone in the jungle consuming only water after her drunk father forgot her, firefighters said on Sunday. Hunters found the girl on Saturday in a difficult-to-access area about 120 kilometres west of the Guatemalan capital. Her father left her stranded after a night of hard drinking in nearby Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa. "The family came to the fire station asking for her, because her father had forgotten her after drinking in a bar," said Manuel Tanti, a spokesperson for the local Volunteer Firefighters. The girl, bruised, scratched and suffering from malnutrition, was receiving medical care, he said. |
