From an American Perspective:
Apparently they where too late.Also you have to remember it was in a foreign country, but personally speaking they could have saved her I know they could have ,to me they just really didn't care because if they did they would have tried everything in there power and tried vert hard the first day not til the 2nd almost 3rd day . In america if that had happen you already know the American people would have saved the child less than 24 hours.
From a Colombian Perspective:
Omayra Sánchez was caught in debris, concrete, and mud. The filthy water reached until Omayra's neck and she could not move. The people tried all they could to save her - using a pumping unit to eliminate the water factor, using ropes to pull her out,etc.- but all were ineffective. You have to remember another factor, the other people. The Nevado del Ruiz eruption caused the deaths of more than 23,000 people. How could you save them, including Omayra, under 24 hours? The lahar caused from the eruption clogged the path for the rescue team to reach the people in time, which did not give enough time for the rescuers to come to Omayra with the right supplies. The only way for Omayra to be rescued was amputating her legs, but if they amputated her legs they would not have the supplies for the surgery to be fulfilled and she would eventually die.

Her name was Omayra Sánchez. She was 13 years old at the time and lived with her parents, her brother and an uncle. However, prior to the tragedy, her mother had traveled to Bogotá on business. The night of the disaster, she and her family had awakened and heard of the volcanic fluid going in their direction. In the process of evacuating to a nearby mount, Omayra's grandmother fell into a water aqueduct hole, and Omayra herself stopped with the intent to rescue her trapped sibling, when the flow reached them. Omayra got trapped under her own home's concrete and debris and could not escape. When rescue teams tried to help her, they realized that her legs were trapped. Omayra was trapped up to her neck in water, concrete, and other debris for three days before she succumbed to gangrene and hypothermia. During three nights of agony, Omayra seemed strong but was suffering. According to Cristina Echandia, a journalist who kept records of the events, Omayra sang and had normal conversations with the people who were trying to help her. The little girl was thirsty and scared. On the third night, Omayra began hallucinating, saying that she did not want to be late for school. At some point she asked the people to leave her so they could rest. Television coverage of the disaster introduced her to the world when she was still alive. The photo shown here was taken hours before her death and published after her death.
