An Indigenous man who took part with the military in the search of the four Indigenous children who were found alive after being lost for 40 days in the Colombian Amazon forest following a plane crash, waits for the children to be taken down a plane and into ambulances upon landing at the CATAM military base in Bogota on June 10, 2023.

Three adults died in a devastating plane crash in the Amazon last month, but four children have miraculously survived. 

The children managed to cross the jungle on their own for 40 days until they were eventually discovered alive by Colombian soldiers, Reuters reported on Saturday.
