Four children were found alive in the south of Colombia more than two weeks after the plane they were traveling in crashed in a thick jungle, President Gustavo Petro said.
Authorities deployed more than 100 soldiers with dogs to search for the children who were on board a plane that crashed in the Amazon on May 1, killing their mother and two other adults.
Three helicopters were used to help, one of which released a recorded message from the children's grandmother in Huitoto warning them not to move into the forest
Between Monday and Tuesday, the soldiers found the bodies of the pilot and two adults who were traveling from the jungle to San Jose del Guaviare, one of the main cities in the Amazon rainforest in Colombia.
