Heldi Mokoagow, 34, eats with the help of his mother on Saturday (3/02/2019) at the Kotamobagu Regional General Hospital in North Sulawesi. Heldi is one of 18 miners who were rescued from an illegal gold mine that collapsed on the evening of Feb. 26 in Bakan village, Lolayan district, Bolaang Mongondow regency, North Sulawesi.
Heldi Mokoagow, 34, lay weakly on Saturday in a hospital room in the city of Kotamobagu, North Sulawesi. His feet and right hand were bandaged. Wounds nearly covered his entire body.
His 65-year-old mother, Oki Wengke, patiently tended to her son, feeding him carefully. Every now and then, Heldi grimaced with pain. "My legs were stuck under a rock," he said.
