Bogota: Children who went missing in Colombia 40 days ago have been found alive in the Amazon jungle.
According to global media reports, four indigenous children who had been missing for more than a month in the Amazon forests of Colombia were found alive and taken to the capital Bogota on Saturday morning.
Children who survived a small plane crash in the forest were airlifted to a military airport by an Army medical plane on Saturday morning. They were taken off the plane on stretchers and wrapped in blankets and rushed to the hospital by ambulances.
General Pedro Sánchez, who led the search operation, credited the search for the children to local people involved in the efforts of the rescue teams. He said that as soon as we found the children, we started calling miracle, miracle.
On the other hand, the President of the country, Gustav Pietro, while announcing the rescue of children, told the media that today is a magical day for us. The children are still weak right now, let the doctors take care of them.
Some time ago there was a plane crash in the Amazon in which there were 13, 9, 4 and 1 year old children. After surviving the accident, the four children were wandering alone in the forest since May 1.
