The rescue in the Guaviare jungle continues to generate shock and joy. The two recordings broadcast this Monday well guarantee that the name of ‘Operation Miracle’with which Colombian media have renamed the operation.

“We found the children, we found the children!“, the indigenous volunteers exclaim find the four stranded minors among the thick jungle. Overcome with emotion – “this is a great… a great… blessing, babbles one of the murui- ‘call the rolls’: none of the brothers is missing and, relieved, they document it for posterity:

“We have achieved the goal we wanted: here are the four children, in our hand alive. Here, the little girl of eleven months…”, is heard in the video.

The first thing, the rescuers have recounted, was to give them human heat: “The children must be cold, crazy!” one of them says to another. “Feel the boy, feel him,” he instructs. Then explain to the four children that his family sent them: “Your dad, your grandmother are looking for you, your uncle will also come…”, they were told.

“Faith has put us on the path…thank God, God has blessed us,” says an indigenous leader as they embrace and record the first images of the recently rescued. After the hugs, and as soon as the scare was over, the brothers only thought of one thing: eat.

“They were very hungry: they wanted rice pudding, bread…”, says Henry, one of the rescuers. But, of course, after forty days surviving on cassava and berries -and thanks to the expertise of Lesly, the eldest- that couldn’t be either: ” Don’t give him so much candy, don’t give him so much candy!” exhorts an indigenous leader. “No, no; It’s whey, it’s whey”, answers the other.

Fed and accompanied, the reinforcements were not long in arriving. “We are going to hand over the children to the Colombian Armed Forces”narrates the second video. The soldiers put them in the helicopter and gave them the first emergency medical examinations and on board to Bogotá, where they are recovering.

All in all, this exciting ‘Operation Miracle’ has not ceased to be ‘Operation Hope‘, which continues in the tireless search for Wilson the Belgian Malinois of the Army that located and accompanied the brothers. He stayed by their side, played with them, “emaciated” due to lack of food but determined to provide them with protection and company. He got lost on June 8, in full operation, perhaps because he was frightened by one of the wild animals that inhabit the jungle.

Wilson is now, in the country that weeps with joy after holding its anguished breath for so many days, a Colombian national hero. Social networks cry out for it not to be given up as lost. They will keep looking for it. The Armed Forces have promised to do so.
