The four Indigenous children who survived 40 days in the Amazon jungle after their plane crashed are being treated at a Colombian hospital. The oldest of the children said their mother survived for about four days after the crash before telling the kids to go on without her.
For Colombia's commandos, the rescue of four children who were lost in the Amazon after surviving a plane crash "was a different mission" from fighting armed groups.
The four Indigenous children who survived for weeks after their plane crashed have shared limited but harrowing details of the ordeal with their family members.
The Indigenous children, aged 13, 9 and 4 years and 11 months, are expected to remain for a minimum of two weeks at a hospital receiving treatment after their rescue Friday.
Colombia's president said the authorities have found alive the four children who survived a small plane crash 40 days ago.
Searchers believe the children likely are still alive because otherwise animals would have been drawn to their remains, Sánchez said.
Officials said the crew tried to open valves and sink the vessel along with its drug-laden cargo. It didn't work.
The plane went down more than two weeks ago. President Gustavo Petro said "military forces and Indigenous communities will continue in their tireless search."

Sanabria claimed criminals used witchcraft, and said in one operation a police officer had been able to kill one of them by "praying while shooting."
Colombia is proposing sending some of its growing hippopotamus population to India and Mexico. Four of the animals, which aren't native to the region, were imported from Africa in the 1980s by drug lord Pablo Escobar for his private zoo, and they have been multiplying ever since. Independent journalist Audrey Huse joined CBS News to discuss.
The news came about a week after officials seized a cocaine-laden vessel with two dead bodies on board in the same region.
