In clips shared online by the Colombian Defense Ministry, the children’s grandfather Narciso Mucutuy detailed how 13-year-old Lesly Jacobombaire Mucutuy cared for her younger siblings during the traumatic ordeal.
“When she looked and saw that her mother was dead, she saw the foot of her youngest sister and she pulled them out,” he said.
“Their learning from indigenous families and their learning of living in the jungle has saved them,” Colombian President Gustavo Petro said.
‘We have a saying ‘We never leave an element behind,’ even less the four children, we would not leave Wilson.
“I believe in the jungle, which is our mother … both the jungle and nature have never betrayed me,” he said.
