Cyclone Ilsa leaves Indonesian fishermen stranded for six days without food before rescue
Eleven Indonesian fishermen have been rescued after surviving for six days without food or water on a tiny island off Australia's coast.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said they were airlifted to safety on Monday from Bedwell Island, some 330km west of the town of Broome in Western Australia.The survivors said their two boats were hit by the powerful Tropical Cyclone Ilsa last week, sinking one boat.The sole survivor is reported to have been in the ocean for hours, clinging onto a jerry can, before being picked up by the fishermen from the other boat, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
They are "all reported to be in good health despite their ordeal", a Border Force spokesperson said, as quoted by the ABC, adding that the government was now working to "repatriate the group as soon as practical". Cyclone Ilsa, the strongest storm in the region in about 14 years, hit Western Australia last week - but it spared populated areas from major damage.Related Topics
