4 children who survived the plane crash found alive in the forest 40 days later

In Colombia, 4 children from the plane, which disappeared with 7 people on May 1 and whose remains were found on May 17, were rescued after days of searches in the jungle with military planes and dogs.

The bodies of 4 adults, including the mother of the children, were found in the plane whose remains were found on May 17 in the jungle in the south of the country. The children, who were reported to be alive and whose traces were found, could not be located.

In the authorities’ statement about the brothers on May 18, the children were claimed to be alive, but their fate could not be confirmed.

UNCONFIRMED RESCUE NEWS

The Colombian government shared photos of the children yesterday, confirming that four siblings, three girls and one boy, were found alive in the forest, the oldest 13 years old and the youngest 12 months old. President Gustavo Petro also shared on his Twitter account: “Great joy for the whole country! “Four children who were lost in the Colombian jungle 40 days ago have been found alive,” he said.

Four brothers were taken to the hospital in a military plane.

On May 17, Petro deleted his tweet that the children were alive, saying the information was unverified. “They were together, but they were weakened,” the Colombian leader said yesterday. “The doctors will examine him,” he said.

The Colombian army, which has been carrying out an intense search for the children for weeks, announced the news as a “miracle.” The statement noted that the places of the four brothers were determined in the forest under the Caquetá management document, and the expression “Miracle, Miracle, Miracle” was included.

It has been reported that the children, who were found by military personnel and immediately transferred to the hospital in the capital Bogotá, were suffering from health problems due to “loss of fluids” and “insect bites”. The four brothers were recorded to have survived by building a makeshift shelter in the woods and eating fruit.

Children aged 13, 9, 4 and 1, said to be from the local community, were reported to have been found in an area close to where the plane crashed. Narcizo Mucutuy, grandfather of the four brothers, said he was delighted with the news of the rescue.
