A dramatic rescue unfolded off the coast of Greece after a baby was discovered stranded for three days on a remote island, sparking shock and relief across the country.
Authorities say the child was swept away in a small inflatable raft after strong winds carried it out to sea. For 72 harrowing hours, the baby endured scorching sun, cold nights, and no food or water.
Fishermen spotted the raft drifting near an uninhabited island and immediately called for help. Coast guard teams launched a rescue operation, reaching the child just in time.
Video footage shows rescuers carefully lifting the baby from the raft while emotional onlookers cheered from nearby boats. Medical teams rushed the child to the hospital, where doctors confirmed the baby was dehydrated but otherwise in stable condition.
The rescue has been hailed as a miracle at sea, with officials praising the quick-thinking fishermen whose vigilance saved the childβs life.
Greek authorities are now investigating how the baby was left unsupervised and swept away, raising urgent questions about parental responsibility and safety precautions near the water.
For many, the story is a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by the sea β but also a testament to hope, resilience, and the courage of everyday heroes.
