Five people found after drifting for three months in the Pacific Ocean

A group of five individuals was found after drifting approximately 5400 kilometers for three months in the Pacific Ocean. They had set off from Micronesia on a short journey but encountered a storm that led to their disappearance. The U.S. Coast Guard conducted a search but ceased operations after ten days. The group was discovered by locals on Fanning Island in Kiribati and received medical assistance before being transported to Kiritimati Island for further care. Details about their survival remain unclear, and they have requested privacy. The fate of the other four individuals from their boat is unknown.
