| Earthquake survivor Pema Lama, 15, is rescued by the Armed Police Force from the collapsed Hilton Hotel, a result of an earthquake in Kathmandu, Nepal April 30, 2015 |
A
15-year-old boy was miraculously rescued in Kathmandu on Thursday, five days
after the house where he was sheltering collapsed during Nepal’s devastating
earthquake.
Bystanders
roared as the Pema Lama, caked in thick red dust, was ferried out of harm’s way
on a stretcher with an intravenous drip in his arm, blinking at the midday
light.
American
medic Dennis Bautista administered drugs to Lama to guard against any potential
crush syndrome. “I can’t imagine what it must have been like,” Bautista tells
TIME, “he was incredibly brave.”
