Rescuers believe the children -- who in addition to the 11-month-old included a 13, 9, and 4 year old -- have been wandering through the jungle in the southern Caqueta department since the crash.
Four Indigenous children, including an 11-month-old baby, have been found alive in the dense Colombian Amazon after a plane crash more than two weeks ago, President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday, declaring "joy for the country."
Petro shared the news on Twitter, saying the children were discovered after "arduous search efforts" by the military.
Authorities had deployed more than 100 soldiers with sniffer dogs to search for the minors who were traveling in an airplane that crashed on May 1, killing three adults.
Rescuers believe the children -- who in addition to the 11-month-old included a 13, 9, and 4 year old -- have been wandering through the jungle in the southern Caqueta department since the crash.
