Miraculous Survival: Colombian Children Escape Jungle After 40 Days

Four Indigenous children in Colombia, aged one through 13, who survived a plane crash and spent over five weeks alone in the jungle, have been released from the hospital after a 34-day stay. The children, credited with their knowledge of the jungle and their eldest sister's courage, have physically recovered and will remain under the care of Colombia's child protection services due to a custody battle among relatives. The children's survival was aided by their deep understanding of jungle survival and an extensive search and rescue effort involving military and Indigenous rescuers.
