This handout picture released by the Colombian Army shows a crashed plane in the forest at a rural area of the municipality of Solano, department of Caqueta, Colombia on May 16, 2023/AFPPix: 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 PetroPetro shared the news on Twitter, saying the children were discovered after “arduous search efforts” by the military.
Rescuers believe the children -- who in addition to the 11-month-old included a 13, 9, and 4 year old -- have been wandering through the jungle in the southern Caqueta department since the crash. In photographs released by the armed forces, scissors and a hair tie could be seen among branches on the jungle floor.On Monday and Tuesday, soldiers found the bodies of the pilot and two adults who had been flying from a jungle location to San Jose del Guaviare, one of the main cities in Colombia’s Amazon rainforest.
Three helicopters have been used to help, one of which blasted out a recorded message from the children’s grandmother in the Huitoto language telling them to stop moving through the jungle.The pilot had reported problems with the engine just minutes before the airplane disappeared from radars, Colombia’s disaster response body said.
