According to reports, four individuals, including two British citizens, were recently rescued from a distressed boat after being stranded at sea for a harrowing four days. The men were reportedly suffering from dehydration and were airlifted to safety by a helicopter that flew approximately 60 miles north of Tenerife.
The situation unfolded when the men made a distress call, realizing that their boat was taking on water. In a stroke of luck, a Panamanian-flagged vessel, known as Green Power, and a Civil Guard vessel quickly responded and headed towards the area where the stranded individuals were located.
Once rescued, the men were taken to Tenerife South airport before being transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention. This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that can arise when setting off into the vast open sea.
Sadly, similar accounts of individuals being left stranded and in peril have also occurred in other parts of the world. In Greece, a newborn baby was recently rescued after being abandoned on a remote island for three days, without access to food or water. The group of refugees, including pregnant women and babies, were left by human traffickers on the shores of the Aegean Sea.
Among the group was a 50-day-old baby boy, whose parents were forced to use seawater to make his milk as their supplies dwindled. After three long days, the authorities were able to rescue the baby, while others were airlifted to safety by helicopter.
These heart-wrenching incidents serve as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who are forced to flee their homes in search of safety and a better life.
