Children of Amazon..The Colombian president withdraws a “good news”

A day after the news broke, Petro retracted what had been announced, saying there was no confirmation that the four children had been rescued and information about their rescue could not be verified.

Authorities deployed more than 100 troops with sniffer dogs to search for children who were on a plane that crashed in the Amazon on May 1, killing their mother and two other adults.

Rescue teams believe the four Aboriginal brothers, three children aged 13, 9 and 4 and an 11-month-old baby, have been wandering the rainforest in the southern province of Caqueta since their plane crash on May 1.

Earlier on Wednesday, the armed forces said search efforts had intensified after rescuers found an “improvised shelter with logs and branches”, bolstering their belief that the children were alive.

In photos released by the armed forces, scissors and a hair tie appeared between branches on the forest floor.

Before that, a bottle and a half-eaten fruit were found.
