...more ministry news...
While the three ministers were meeting, a flotilla of Indonesian
fishermen rescued more than 430 migrants who were stranded at sea for
weeks and brought them to safety.
An initial batch of 102 people were the first brought to shore in the
village of Simpang Tiga in Indonesia's eastern Aceh province. "They were
suffering from dehydration, they are weak and starving," Khairul Nove,
head of Langsa Search and Rescue Agency in Aceh province. Among the 102
passengers were 26 women and 31 children.
One of the fishermen who led the rescue was 40-year-old Razali Puteh. He
said he spotted a green wooden trawler crammed with people who were
screaming, waving their hands and clothes at him to get his attention.
As he neared the trawler, people aboard began jumping into the water,
trying to reach his boat. He said he asked them to stay on their boat,
which apparently had no motor, and promised to return with help. He then
returned with other fishing boats and brought the migrants to shore.
...which also makes it more about not being dead...
