Teenage girl found in boat drifting for 22 days at sea – BBC News
A 17-year-old from Ivory Coast has shared her incredible story of being rescued after spending three weeks adrift at sea.
Out of 59 passengers, Aicha is one of only three to survive – recovering after 10 days in hospital.
It’s the biggest known tragedy involving migrant boats in the Canary Islands.
Aicha left her hometown in November and travelled to Mauritania, where she got the boat. Only her older sister knew of her plans to make the perilous journey.
She was rescued by a Spanish Air Force crew member, who she has now been reunited with.

America’s national debt recently hit a new milestone of $40 trillion. It is estimated that interest payments on the national debt are now the second largest expense in the US government budget, trailing only Social Security. How was the US able to borrow so much and for so long? One answer, according Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, is the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.
In this episode, Rogoff – former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund – explains how the US dollar came to enjoy this hegemonic status, what being the world’s reserve currency actually means in practice, and why he believes the dollar is now in decline.

President Volodymr Zelensky has appealed to Germany to supply Ukraine with tanks, as leaders meet to discuss further aid.
Defence leaders from a number of Nato members are meeting at the US air base in Ramstein, Germany to discuss sending further aid ahead of an anticipated Spring offensive by Russia.
Germany is under increasing pressure from other countries to supply its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, as the UK prepares to send a dozen Challenger 2 tanks.
“If you have Leopard [tanks], then give them to us, these leopards won’t go through Russia. We’re defending ourselves.”, he told public TV in Germany.

She was fortunate to carry some extra weight , that along with youth and will power is the reason why she survived while most did not .

she said after 2 days they had no more water left. Kinda blows my mind that someone can survive without water and food for 20 days.

If you watch this story and still believe in god you’re an idiot with no critical thinking skills. What god would allow a 14 year old girl to watch 50 plus people die over the course of 6-22 days

What hit me the most was when she said in the beginning they said prayers, and by the end they didn't say prayers. I can't imagine that sense of absolute hopelessness.

They ran out of water 2 days into the 22 day journey. A person can only survive 3 to 5 days without water before the organs start to shut down. They did not ask her how the 3 people survived for 20 days with no water.
