Disturbing videos have emerged showing the dire situation at a disused gold mine in South Africa where scores of illegal miners have reportedly been living underground for months.
They have been there since police operations targeting illicit mining started last year across the country.
In one of the videos, which the US media house has not independently verified, corpses wrapped in makeshift body bags can be seen.
A second shows the emaciated figures of some miners who are still alive.
A long-delayed rescue operation, that last week a court ordered the government to facilitate, began Monday.
