BOGOTA, June 12 (Reuters) - The eldest of the four Indigenous children who were missing for more than five weeks in Colombia's southern jungle after a plane crash pulled her youngest sibling from the wreckage, the children's grandfather said on Monday. The oldest sister, Lesly, whose courage has been hailed by authorities as key to the children's survival, pulled the youngest child, Cristin, from the plane, grandfather Narciso Mucutuy said in videos posted by the defense ministry. The children spent four days near the wreckage, he said, eating flour that had been onboard, before wandering from the site.

The father of the two youngest siblings has said the children will tell their own story about the ordeal.
