3 fishermen rescued after getting lost in Indian Ocean

Three out of four fishermen who were lost at sea for more than 22 days have been rescued today. This was after a successful search and rescue mission mounted by the Kenya Coast Guard Services working closely with a Chinese vessel on December 24 along the Kenyan coastline. Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya says the search and rescue will continue for the missing person. The government has also commenced investigations over the incident. The three fishermen who are traumatized by the ordeal are currently receiving treatment at the coast general hospital. The fishermen from Malindi set off for a fishing expedition in November before they encountered stormy waters and got lost.
