A boat carrying more than 70 people sinks near Selayar, a small island south of Sulawesi, and survivors are later found after days at sea, according to reports. The incident occurs on Wednesday as the vessel is sailing near Selayar. After the sinking, two survivors are found on an uninhabited island following several days without rescue, the outlets report. Additional rescue efforts ultimately bring survivors to safety, with the reports describing that those rescued have been adrift or stranded since the time of the sinking. The sources do not provide further details on the number of casualties or the circumstances leading to the sinking beyond the vessel’s location and the fact that it carried more than 70 people. Authorities and responders are not described in detail in the provided accounts, but both reports indicate that the rescue follows the discovery of survivors on the uninhabited island after a prolonged search period.
