Food sister fed brothers and baby sibling to keep them alive for 40 days in Amazon

Four children managed to survive for 40 days in the jungle alone thanks to the skills they learnt from their grandmother, officials have said.

The eldest sibling, Lesly Jacobo Bonbaire, fed her brothers Solecni Ranoque Mucutuy, nine, Tien Noriel Ronoque Mucutuy, four, and 11-month-old Cristian Neryman Ranoque Mucutuy, who is now one, after learning to hunt and fish from a young age.
