The Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) said the May 1 crash, which claimed the lives of three adults, took place on the border between Caquetá and Guaviare in the southern central region of the country, about 250 miles south of the country's capital of Bogota. "After arduous search efforts by our Military Forces, we have found alive the 4 children who had disappeared due to the plane crash," President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday, declaring "joy for the country." Update: Colombian President Guastavo Petro now says the family welfare institute's report on children surviving the crash cannot be confirmed and the search is ongoing.Ī baby is among four children found alive in the Amazon forest more than two weeks after surviving a plane crash that killed their mother and two other people, Colombian leaders confirmed Thursday.
