The children can be seen in the footage being fed and tended to by members of Colombia’s armed forces. The children – aged 13, nine, four and 11 months – are members of the Indigenous Huitoto people. They were travelling with their mother to an Amazonian village when their plane crashed. While their mother and everyone else on board died, the children survived the jungle by eating the rainforest’s fruits and seeds. They were taken to a military hospital in the capital Bogotá, where they were visited by the country’s president Gustavo Petro. Doctors said the children suffered insect bites and minor injuries but were in stable condition.
