Summary

A group of five fishers, including three Peruvians and two哥伦比亚ians, survived 55 days adrift at sea after their boat broke down due to a failed alternator, leaving them without power or communication tools. They had to scavenge for food using rusty water from the engine and fish they caught while being rescued by an Ecuadorian tuna boat named Aldo. The men are now in stable condition and working toward their safe return to their respective countries, coordinated with local and international authorities. Earlier this year, another Peruvian fisher was also rescued after spending 95 days at sea alone.
