The 14 year old girl who is still thought to be the only survivor of the Comoros jet crash is doing well in hospital.

Bahia Bakari clung onto debris after the plane went down in the Indian Ocean on approach to Comoros from Yemen. A French rescuer jumped into the water and  hauled her up on the boat after she was unable to hold onto a life buoy he had thrown at around 4am Tuesday morning he said she was shaking and cold, so we wrapped her up in blankets.

The father of the girl Kassim Bakari said that he had spoken to his daughter about what happened after the pane crashed. “I asked her what happened and she said, ‘We saw the plane fall into the water. I found myself in the water. I was hearing people talking but I couldn’t see anyone. I was in the dark. I couldn’t see anything. Daddy, I couldn’t swim very well. I grabbed on to something but I don’t know what,” Kassim said.

Bahia has been asking about her mother who was on the flight with her, at the minute she is missing presumed dead but Kassim said that she had not been told the truth yet.
