Colombian President Gustavo Petro hailed the rescue effort as the beginning of a "new Colombia". Four children who survived a plane crash and 40 days lost in the Colombian jungle have been released from hospital following a 'total recovery'. Father of the two youngest Manuel Ranoque, 32, said the children are in custody of the Institute of Family Welfare, a government facility taking care of the vulnerable young and elderly, according to the Daily Mail. After the children were released from the military hospital where they spent 6 weeks, Ranoque said: 'They are totally recovered, they are in good health. I'm very pleased.' The Huitoto Indigenous children were involved in a plane crash on May 1, when engine problems were reported as they flew over a remote part of the Amazon rainforest known as the Araracuara. Tragically, their mother Magdalena Mucutuy Valencia - an indigenous leader - passed away following the crash. She survived for four days with the children, before telling them to 'get out of here'. 'You guys are going to see the kind of man your dad is, and he's going to show you the same kind of great love that I have shown you,' she reportedly said before her passing.

They survived on seeds, fruits, roots and plants which they knew to be edible from their upbringing in the Amazon. Their local knowledge of the region was the key reason for their survival, according to the National Indigenous Organisation of Colombia. 'The survival of the children is a sign of the knowledge and relationship with the natural environment that is taught starting in the mother's womb,' they said.
