A group of Cuban migrants drank their own urine and blood to survive after drifting in the Caribbean for three weeks without food or water, according to a Reuters report.

The report, which included interviews with survivors who made it to the United States this week, said that the boat was carrying 32 migrants when it set off from eastern Cuba in early August. The engine of the homemade boat failed on the second day at sea. Six passengers tried to swim to safety and are still missing. Eleven died of dehydration.

Rainwater was the migrants’ only source of water and was distributed in doses via medical syringes. After running out of rainwater, some of the passengers began drinking seawater and their own urine. Some even used syringes to draw their own blood to drink.

Mexican fishermen rescued the 15 survivors about 240 kilometres northeast of the Yucatan peninsula.
