Bahamas: The US Coast Guard has rescued three people who were stranded for 33 days on an uninhabited island in the Bahamas.

According to details, an aircrew was on a routine patrol when they spotted a group of three people waving frantically and trying to get their attention on a deserted island.
After the crew landed, they got to know that those three people were Cuban nationals and were stuck on the island for 33 days.
They told officials they had survived largely on coconuts.
The crew members were amazed and surprised to see that they were able to survive for so long.
“I was out on patrol when something caught the attention of my eye. When I came back round at a lower altitude, I realized that there were people on the island in distress,” Coast Guard official Riley Beecher said.
It was not possible for the crew to rescue them immediately so they dropped food, water and a radio so they could communicate.
"Unfortunately we didn't have any fluent Spanish speakers but in my broken Spanish I was able to discern that they were from Cuba and that they needed medical assistance. They made sure to stress that they had been on the island for 33 days," Lt Beecher said.
Later, it was reported that they had also survived on rats and conchs.
The trio were finally airlifted from the island by helicopter and taken to a medical facility in Florida, though they have no reported major injuries. It is rare for people to be stranded on an island so long yet survive.
