MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The four children rescued after spending 40 days in the jungle after a plane crash in Colombia have been taken to a military hospital in Bogota and are in good health now, doctor of the hospital Carlos Arango said.
On Friday, Colombian media reported the siblings, aged 13, 9, 4 and 1, who were passengers of the Cessna 206 plane that crashed in May, were found alive by soldiers and members of indigenous tribes. The Tiempo newspaper reported, citing military sources, the children were dehydrated and had suffered from insect bites.
"After an initial check of girl Lesly and her three younger brothers, we found that they are … in acceptable clinical condition, despite the situation experienced in the last 40 days," Arango was quoted as saying by Colombian news agency on Saturday.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro and his wife visited the children in the hospital, according to the president's office.
