Ten survivors from an Indonesian ferry which sank with heavy loss of life have been rescued at sea after clinging to debris for more than three days.

The ferry, the Cahaya Bahiri, was carrying an estimated 500 passengers - most of whom were fleeing from religious violence on the northern Moluccan islands of Halmahera.

Setio Rahardjo, head of the government's search and rescue agency, said survivors had confirmed that the heavily overcrowded vessel had sunk after taking on water in rough seas and strong winds.

印度尼西亞一艘渡船沉入海底,人員損失慘重,其中十名在沉船殘骸上爬了三天的幸存者獲救。

這艘渡船,Cahaya Bahiri,據(jù)估計共載了500名乘客--多數(shù)是想逃離哈馬黑拉島的摩鹿加群島北部的宗教沖突。

印尼政府救撈機構負責人Setio Rahardjo說，幸存者證實這艘嚴重超員的渡船是因大風浪中輪船進水而沉沒的。
