“After arduous searching by our military, we have found alive the four children who went missing after a plane crash in Guaviare,” Colombian President Gustavo Petro tweeted.
In the early hours of May 1, a light aircraft flying over the Amazon rainforest inRescue teams later found the wreckage of the Cessna 206 and three adult bodies inside—including that of Ranoque Mucutuy. But Mucutuy’s four children, which included an 11-month-old baby—were missing.
An official confirmation as to the children’s wellbeing has not yet been made as of Thursday morning. But rescue efforts were stepped up on Wednesday after a search party discovered a shelter built with sticks and branches which indicated there could have been survivors. The family are from the Indigenous Huitoto people who live in Colombia’s south-east and the north of Peru. A message was reportedly played over the remote rainforest search area in the Huitoto language from a helicopter, in which the children’s grandmother instructed the kids to not attempt to move through the rainforest.
