The eldest of the four Indigenous children who were missing for more than five weeks in Colombia’s southern jungle after a plane crash pulled her youngest sibling from the wreckage, the children’s grandfather said on Monday. The children spent four days near the wreckage, he said, eating flour that had been onboard, before wandering from the site. “The children are well, they are stable and following their medical treatment,” said agency official Adriana Velasquez in a video posted on Twitter. The boy told them their mother was dead, the rescuers said. The father of the two youngest siblings has said the children will tell their own story about the ordeal.
