The world watched on with joy and amazement last week as four young children emerged from a 40-day ordeal lost in the Amazon jungle in Colombia. The “miracle” rescue followed a tragic plane crash, in which the children’s mother and two other adults perished, on 1 May. The four siblings, aged one, five, nine and 13, survived the crash but were left to fend for themselves while lost in Colombia's southern jungle.
