Five fishermen, three from Peru and two from Colombia, were rescued after spending 55 days adrift in the ocean due to their boat's alternator failure. They survived on rain and seawater and caught fish to eat. The survivors were found by an Ecuadorian boat and have been safely returned to the Galapagos Islands. The Ecuadorian navy is coordinating efforts for their return to their home countries, emphasizing their stable condition and the challenges they faced while stranded at sea.
