Moroni - A second child may have survived the Comoros jet crash and a hospital on the main island in the Indian Ocean archipelago was put on alert Wednesday to treat the victim, doctors said.
"It seems that another child was found alive early in the morning. We have no detail on the victim because we have not seen him," said a doctor who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The doctor said the survivor may still be with rescuers at sea.
A teenage girl is so far the only survivor among the 153 people aboard the Yemenia airliner that plunged into the sea as it came in to land at Moroni airport early on Tuesday.
