Four siblings, aged 13, nine, four and one, have been found alive after surviving a plane crash and spending weeks fending for themselves in Colombia's Amazon jungle.
The four children were the only survivors of a plane crash that unfortunately also claimed their mother's life. The oldest was only 13 when the plane went down on 1 May in southern Colombia, whilst the youngest would mark his first birthday lost under the dense green canopy of trees and vegetation, alive with jaguars, poisonous snakes and other threats.
