Four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash in the Amazon jungle have shared limited details of their ordeal with their family. The children, aged 13, 9, 4, and 1, are currently receiving treatment in the hospital but are already showing signs of wanting to do more than just lie in bed. The father of the two youngest children revealed that their mother survived the crash for several days before succumbing to her injuries. He believes that she likely urged the children to leave the wreckage in order to survive. The details of what happened to the children are gradually emerging, but it may take some time to fully understand their experience.
According to one of the rescuers, the children were found with some essentials such as clothes, a towel, a flashlight, cellphones, a music box, and a soda bottle, which they used to collect water. They complained of being hungry after their rescue and expressed a desire to eat rice pudding and bread. One of their uncles revealed that the children hid in tree trunks to protect themselves from the dangers of the jungle.
The children are now recovering in the hospital, and although they are eating a little, they still have a long way to go. Family members are giving them space and time to recover from the traumatic experience. The children were part of an Indigenous group and survived by consuming cassava flour, seeds, and fruits from the rainforest.
The rescue efforts were a joint operation between the military and Indigenous communities. The Colombian government has praised the collaboration between these groups in finding the children. The search involved dropping food boxes from helicopters, firing flares from planes, and using a recorded message from the children’s grandmother to guide the search teams.
The miraculous rescue has been seen as a testament to the skills and wisdom of the Indigenous population and their ability to navigate the challenging terrain of the jungle. Indigenous community members even held a ceremony outside the hospital to give thanks for the rescue.
Overall, the story of the Indigenous children’s survival and rescue captivated the nation and demonstrated the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
