Four children survived for 40 days in the Amazon jungle after a plan crash used supplies from the wreckage to stay alive, authorities and a family member say.
The oldest sibling said their mother initially survived the crash but died four days later, their father told reporters.
The four members of the Mucutuy family, ranging in age from 1 to 13, were rescued by a search team after spending 40 days in the Amazon jungle.Narciso Mucutuy, the children’s grandfather, told reporters the children initially stayed by the plane and survived on three pounds of cassava flour they were traveling with. When no one came to help, the siblings started walking.
Lesly fed the baby formula she took from the crash site and then water once the formula ran out, her grandfather said. The other siblings survived on berries and seeds they found in the jungle. The siblings were sitting in one place and Lesly was holding the baby between her legs when they were discovered.
