In an extraordinary tale of survival, four Indigenous children who had been missing for over a month following a plane crash in the Colombian Amazon rainforest have been discovered alive. President Gustavo Petro announced the miraculous rescue, expressing joy and relief for their recovery. The children, aged 13, nine, four, and one, were originally from the Huitoto Indigenous group. They had been wandering alone through the dense jungle since May 1, when the Cessna 206 aircraft they were traveling in crashed shortly after takeoff from Araracuara, en route to San Jose del Guaviare. Tragically, the pilot, the children's mother, and a local Indigenous leader did not survive the crash.
