Five Survivors Rescued After Indonesian Ferry Capsizes

Kathmandu. Five passengers of a passenger boat that sank in the waters of eastern Indonesia have been rescued alive after floating in the sea for three days. Rescue officials informed on Sunday that a seven-year-old girl was among those rescued.

The boat, carrying more than seventy passengers, sank near Selayar Island in the south of Sulawesi Island on Wednesday. The rescued passengers said they were initially in a group of 25 who were reported missing. However, they were separated from other passengers due to strong winds.
