Colombia on Monday awarded one of its highest decorations to the soldiers, Indigenous rescuers and civil servants who led a successful operation to find four children lost for weeks in the Amazon.
In a ceremony held in Bogota, President Gustavo Petro praised the collaboration between the military and Indigenous communities, awarding members of the mission, dubbed Operation Hope, with medals of the Order of Boyaca – the second-highest distinction in the armed forces, and the highest for civilians.
The search for the four Indigenous children, which captured worldwide attention, was launched after the plane they were travelling on crashed in the Amazon on May 1.
