BOGOTA, 19 May. Colombian military units spent two weeks looking for survivors of a plane crash in the Amazon jungle, even passing on a message recorded by the grandmother of the four children on board urging them to stay put. .

Military officials said Thursday they found footprints they believe belong to the missing children. Operation Hope continues. Our special forces, which included more than 100 people who participated in this humanitarian mission, found traces of children missing in the Kaketa jungle near a small river, the armed forces said on Twitter.

This Wednesday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro tweeted that children aged 13, 9, 4 and 11 months were found alive. But he later deleted the notice and clarified that the information provided to him by the Family Welfare Institute was not confirmed.

What could have been an extraordinary survival story is now baffling Colombians as government officials grapple with poor communications and still have no direct contact with children. Astrid Cáceres, director of the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare, recalled that the children went missing after a small plane crashed in southern Colombia on May 1.

Colombian military specialists in search of the missing group tracked down small items such as hair ties, plastic wrap and baby bottles. The bodies of three people were recovered and brought to San José del Guaviare, Colombia this Thursday after the Amazon plane crash, while the search for four missing minors continues, Civil Aeronautics reported.

Three bodies of people who sadly died in the tragic crash have been recovered, the organization said in a statement, quoted by CNN. The entity identified the victims as Hernando Murcia Morales (pilot), Magdalena Mukutui Valencia, and Herman Mendoza Hernandez. He also expressed solidarity with the families of the victims.
