Surviving Against All Odds: The Incredible Story of Children Found Alive in the Amazon Rainforest.

The four children who survived a plane crash in a Colombian jungle for 40 days were told by their mother to leave the site and seek help before she died, according to their father. The children, who are members of the Huitoto Indigenous group, were found alive by rescuers last week after tracking scattered signs of their survival. They are recovering in a hospital after sustaining themselves on cassava flour and wild fruits and plants in the jungle. The assistance of Indigenous communities was "decisive" in the children's discovery, said Defense Minister Iván Velásquez Gómez.
