Colombian President Gustavo Petro admitted this Thursday that the search for four children missing in a plane crash in the southern jungle 18 days ago is ongoing, while he regrets what happened as he said the minors were found alive. , which he now admits “could not be confirmed”.
The head of state announced on Twitter this Wednesday that “after an intense search by our armed forces, we have found 4 children alive who were missing in the Guaviar plane crash.”
Petro, who uses social media to highlight key government issues, wrote today: “I have decided to delete the trill (tweet) because the information provided by the ICBF cannot be verified. I’m sorry about what happened.”
The Colombian Institute for Family Welfare (ICBF) said in a statement yesterday that it had received information that children aged 13, 9 and 4, in addition to the 11-month-old baby, were found alive.
“In the afternoon of May 17 (…) information was received from the territory providing contact with four boys and girls who were part of the people transported by plane,” the ICBF said in a statement.
The agency, which deals with the prevention and comprehensive protection of children and adolescents, indicated that the juveniles, according to the report of the indigenous communities, were “found alive and also in good health.”
But the Armed Forces, who are in charge of the search, were unable to confirm the find yesterday and insist they continue searching in this remote and green region of the country with a very unfavorable climate.
So far, they have found a plane with three bodies of adults who were traveling with four children, and some evidence of minors, such as a makeshift jungle hideout, some scissors and a baby bottle.
FIND THEM, PRIORITY
Petro added in his message today that the military and indigenous communities will continue “their tireless quest to give the country the news it is waiting for.”
He also stressed that “there is currently no other priority than to continue searching until they are found. Children’s lives are the most important thing.”
Petro ordered ICBF director Astrid Caceres to go to the Guaviare Jungle Department this Thursday to continue searching for 13-year-old Leslie Mukutui; Salty Mukutui, 9; Thien Noriel Ronok Mukutui, 4 years old, and Kristin Neriman Ranok Mukutui, 11 months old.
On the other hand, the Mukutui Valencia and Mendoza Hernandez families rejected the misinformation being spread and asked for respect in the face of the false expectations generated.
“Physical and emotional health is not a game that can be erased and/or easily forgotten,” the families said in a statement released by local media.
The document added: “The harassment of the media for statements not only violates our rights, but also causes violence and fuels pain.”
In addition, they thanked Avianline Charter’s and the organizations that supported the search for their loved ones.
“We ask all competent authorities to conduct due diligence and investigations to establish the causes of the accident,” the statement said.
The aircraft, operated by Avianline Charter, was flying between Araraquara, a remote town located on the border between the departments of Caqueta and Amazonas, and San José del Guaviare when a state of emergency was declared.
Since then, a search plan has been deployed, including three helicopters and more than 100 people, in the hope of finding the children. EFE
