A bag of cassava flour helped four children survive in the Amazon for nearly seven weeks after a plane crash that killed the adults they were with.
The Indigenous Huitoto children, ages 13, 9, 4 and 11 months, were continuing to be treated Sunday at a Bogota, Colombia, hospital, where they had been visited this weekend by grateful family members, military officials and even President Gustavo Petro, who predicted their epic tale of survival “will remain in history.”
Lesly “knew what fruits she can’t eat because there are many poisonous fruits in the forest. And she knew how to take care of a baby,” the aunt said. About 150 soldiers with dogs teamed up with volunteers from Indigenous tribes — who historically have an adversarial relationship with the military — to search for survivors.
