Kiribati: Five people rescued after drifting for three months

Kiribati Micronesia Pacific Ocean rescue Fanning Island maritime survival

Five people, including two children, have been rescued near Fanning Island in Kiribati after spending nearly three months adrift in the Pacific Ocean. The survivors were discovered by local villagers on Sunday, approximately 5,400 kilometers from their original starting point.

The group of nine originally departed on July 30 for a routine one-hour boat trip between the islands of Murilo and Ruo in the Federated States of Micronesia. A severe storm swept the small vessel off course, leading to their disappearance. Although the US Coast Guard, Navy, and Air Force conducted a ten-day search covering 25,000 nautical miles, the operation was suspended on August 9 after no traces were found.

Medical staff reported that the survivors arrived in a state of severe dehydration and malnutrition but are showing signs of recovery after receiving intravenous fluids. Local lawmaker Kaotitaake Rakoroa recommended transferring the group to Kiritimati Island for further medical treatment. The fate of the four other passengers who were on board remains unknown.
