The four children who were lost in the Amazon jungle for 40 days, after surviving a plane crash in which they were traveling with their mother, another adult and the pilot, were released from the hospital where they had been since June 9, reported to EFE official sources.
“The children are no longer in the hospital”, said sources of the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), which is in charge of determining who is going to keep custody of the four minors, since the mother died in the accident and after the father’s accusations.
