About 17 others remain trapped under debris as time runs out, with locals helping with rescue efforts doing so with anything they could lay hands on.

According to reports, only two of the trapped miners had been rescued alive, albeit with injuries, while the lifeless bodies of the seven had been laid out in the open, covered only with bushes.

The miners prevented the team of journalists from taking photographs of the incident and chased them away.
