Spoiler: source

A helicopter belonging to a US-flagged fishing vessel, the Ocean Encounter, spotted the boat as it drifted off Nauru on Sunday.

Seven men were on board but two died after being rescued by the US crew.

The five survivors are now in hospital in Majuro in the Marshall Islands, thousands of kilometres from where they first set sail.

According to Giff Johnson, editor of the Marshall Islands Journal, they appeared to be "in very serious stages of illness, malnutrition" when they arrived.

"Four of the five survivors who came off had to be carried off on stretchers, one was able to walk," he said.

The group - initially of eight men - told rescuers they had been making a short crossing in PNG's New Ireland area on 14 September when they ran out of petrol.

They said they had seen a number of vessels while they were adrift but failed to attract their attention.

Last Friday one of the eight - a 17-year-old boy - died after jumping overboard to rescue clothing that had blown away.

The group told a Papua New Guinean sailor on the Ocean Encounter crew that neither they nor he had had enough strength to get him back into the boat, Mr Johnson said.

A second man died shortly after the US vessel rescued them and a third man just hours before the vessel arrived in the port of Majuro on Tuesday evening.

The five survivors were said to be stable in hospital, Mr Johnson said.

Jadi, secara mudahnya saja saya terjemahkan ya
Ada 8 orang papua yang terlarut dan terbawa ombak ke lautan pasifik

Jumat minggu kemarin, salah satu orang -anak berumur 17 tahun- meninggal dunia karena dia terjun ke laut untuk mengambil bajunya yang tertiup angin, orang-orang lainnya sudah tidak bisa menyelamatkan dia karena mereka juga kehabisan tenaga setelah berminggu-minggu tidak mendapatkan asupan nutrisi apapun

Terus, 1 orang meninggal tidak lama setelah tidak lama setelah kapal penyelamat datang, dan satunya lagi meninggal sebelum sampai di pelabuan Majuro.

Saat helikopter amerika menemukan kapal itu, hanya terdapat 7 orang didalamnya karena 1 sudah meninggal tenggelam.


Komen pribadi:
Saya gak mau ngata2in orang itu sih, apalagi yang dua meninggal setelah diselamatkan
tapi saya pikir, orang yang meninggal saat kapal penyelamat datang mungkin dia sudah tidak berpikir untuk bertahan lagi, dan saat itu dia akhirnya meninggal (maksudnya saya, saat mereka drifted, willpower-nya masih kuat, tapi gara2 liat kapal penyelamat, saat itu willpower-nya langsung abruptly crushed, sama kasus yang meninggal sebelum sampai di pelabuhan)

Kita ambil hikmahnya saja atas kejadian ini
dan juga, kalau terjemahannya kurang enak, i'm so sorry,

for detail explanation, then i recommend to read the source
