Four children were found alive two weeks after they were in a plane that crashed in the thick Colombian jungle in the southern area of the country, President Gustavo Petro said on Wednesday.
“After arduous searching by our military, we have found alive the four children who went missing after a plane crash in Guaviare. A joy for the country,” Petro said in a message via Twitter.
The children, aged 13, 8, 4, and 11-month-old baby, from the Huitoto indigenous community, were rescued in the jungle area of Caqueta province by military, firefighters, and civil aviation authorities.
