Four Indigenous children, including an 11-month-old baby, have been found alive in the dense Colombian Amazon after a plane crash more than two weeks ago that killed the adults on board, President Gustavo Petro said.
Four Indigenous children, including an 11-month-old baby, have been found alive in the dense Colombian Amazon after a plane crash more than two weeks ago, President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday, declaring"joy for the country."
A soldier and dog take part in the search for child survivors from a Cessna 206 plane that crashed in the jungle more than two weeks ago, in Caqueta, Colombia May 17, 2023. Rescuers had said they believed the children -- who in addition to the 11-month-old include a 13, nine and four-year-old -- were wandering through the jungle in the southern Caqueta department since the crash.
However, the company also said that"there has been no official confirmation" that the children were completely out of danger, and thunderstorms in the area still posed a risk to them reaching safety. A baby's drinking bottle and half-eaten pieces of fruit had been spotted before the shelter's discovery.
It is a region with few roads and is also difficult to access by river, so airplane transport is common.
