Bogot, Colombia: “I’m hungry” and “my mom is dead”. These were the first words uttered by the four children who were stranded for 40 days in the Colombian jungle, according to the members of the rescue group who found them.
After wandering alone for more than a month, the Huitoto Indigenous children – with ages 13, nine, five, and one — were rescued and airlifted out of the Amazon on Friday, and were recovering two days later in a military hospital in the capital Bogota.
Interviewed Sunday on public broadcast channel RTVC, members of the initial group to find the kids, themselves members of the Indigenous population, recalled the first moments after meeting the children.
The eldest daughter, Lesly, with the little one in her arms, ran towards me. Lesly said: ‘I’m hungry,'” said Nicolas Ordonez Gomes, one of the search and rescue crew.
