TL;DR Summary

After a plane crash in the Colombian jungle, a massive search operation was launched to find four indigenous children who went missing. After 40 days, a search team finally spotted the children, aged 13, nine, five and one, after hearing one of them crying. All four were exhausted, malnourished and dehydrated but alive. The search operation was arduous due to the thick foliage and remote location, but soldiers and volunteers combed the jungle for clues. The children were airlifted to a military hospital in Bogotá, where they are receiving treatment.
