The Mining Affected Communities United in Action group reports that at least 400 men remain trapped in an abandoned mine in South Africa, with many believed dead.
A mobile phone retrieved from rescued miners contained videos showing dozens of bodies wrapped in plastic, indicating severe conditions inside the mine.
Authorities hope to extract all survivors from the mine, where fatalities are suspected to have occurred due to starvation and dehydration.
The situation escalated into a standoff between police and miners over the past two months, with police attempting to seal the mine and extract miners.
