Two young indigenous boys rescued after almost four weeks lost in Brazil's Amazon rainforest have been found and taken to hospital. Emergency services decided to call off the search on 24 February, but locals continued to search for the boys, according to local media outlet Amazônia Real.Almost four weeks later, the boys were found by a man cutting wood 6 km from the village of Palmeira in the Lago Capanã protected land reserve where the boys live with their parents, Amazônia Real adds. One of the boys shouted for help when he heard the local man hitting the trees nearby. Following the calls, the man found the two boys lying on the rainforest floor, hungry and weak, with many skin abrasions. According to local media, the two boys told their parents they had eaten nothing while lost and had had only rainwater to drink.
