A 21-month-old girl who went missing during a New Year’s party in northern Brazil has been found alive at the bottom of an abandoned well after five days without food or water, reports say.

Television images showed members of the Military Police bringing Ana Clara out of the well showing a few minor injuries and insect bites all over her body.

Clara disappeared from her ranch in Ariquemes, in the northernmost state of Roraima, as her parents and friends were getting ready to celebrate on New Year’s Eve.

Local firefighters and police with rescue dogs searched the neighbourhood, fearing the girl had strayed to a nearby river, until they found her at the bottom of an old well hidden by thick bushes.

“It’s a miracle,” said Clara’s mother Francoise Abranches.

“God’s hand helped my daughter. I knew we would get her back,” said her father Ronaldo Nunes.

During her five-day ordeal, Clara apparently survived by eating mud and grass, and lost three kilograms, according to the media reports.

She is now recovering at a local hospital.
