Update: Turns out not to be true https://missingpeople.ca/world-colombian-president-retracts-claim-4-missing-indigenous-children-found-alive-in-amazon-after-plane-crash/


Original:


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 Petro said Wednesday, declaring “joy for the country.”

Petro said on Twitter the children were found after “arduous search efforts” by the military, which has yet to confirm the rescue.

More than 100 soldiers had been deployed with sniffer dogs to search for the minors who were traveling in an airplane that crashed on May 1, leaving three adults including the pilot and the children’s mother dead.

Rescuers had said they believed the children — who in addition to the 11-month-old include a 13, nine and four-year-old — were wandering through the jungle in the southern Caqueta department since the crash.

Petro did not provide any details on where the children had been rescued or how they survived alone in the jungle.

Avianline Charters, owner of the crashed aircraft, said one of its pilots in the search area was told the children had been found and that they “were being transported by boat downriver and that they were all alive.”

However, the company also said that “there has been no official confirmation” that the children were completely out of danger, and thunderstorms in the area still posed a risk to them reaching safety.

The armed forces had earlier said their search efforts intensified after rescuers came across a “shelter built in an improvised way with sticks and branches,” leading them to believe there were survivors.
