Story summary

Five people, including two children, have been rescued after drifting in the Pacific Ocean for approximately three months following a storm that swept them off course near Murilo Island in the Federated States of Micronesia on July 30. They were part of a group of nine who set out to make a routine one-hour crossing to nearby Ruo Island but encountered severe weather conditions. The US Coast Guard had suspended its search operation on August 9 after covering an extensive area of 25,000 nautical miles. Villagers on Fanning Island in Kiribati spotted the drifting boat and rescued the five survivors on Sunday. Local authorities are now caring for them and considering urgent medical treatment on nearby Kiritimati Island due to their prolonged ordeal at sea.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
