A first video has just been broadcast on the extraordinary rescue operation of the four miraculous children, who were found after 40 days spent in the jungle. We know more about how they managed to feed themselves and survive in this very hostile universe.
An incredible moment, an unexpected rescue, filmed by one of the rescuers. Soleiny, 9 years old, and Tien, 5 years old, appear very thin, with haggard eyes. Their little sister, Cristin, 1 year old, is hugged by a lifeguard. After 40 days wandering in the jungle, they are dehydrated. The first emergency is to give them something to drink. The evening of their rescue, the children were transferred by military plane to a hospital in Bogota.
The lives of the four children are now out of danger
They speak little, but deliver some details of their ordeal. “All the eldest told me was that their mum was alive for four days. And before she died, she would have said ‘Go find your father'”, reports Manuel Miller Ranoque, the father of two of the children. The children are still hospitalized, but their lives are now out of danger.
