Lesly, 13, Soleiny, nine, Tien Noriel, four, and 12-month-old baby Cristin, survived the accident that killed their mum and the pilots in a remote part of Colombia.

But they have now held an emotional reunion with their relatives as they recover in hospital.

Their grandfather Fidencio Valencia said they’re “very weak” but “happy to see their family”.

Astrid Cáceres, the director of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute, said two of the children had been playing.

She said: “They still talk very little, but they want to play.”
