rescuees
People pulled out
Rescuees are people who have been rescued or are in the process of being rescued from danger, disaster, or distress.
The term parallels formations like employee or trainee, casting the rescued person as the recipient of the action.
It appears most often in emergency response contexts: The rescuees were airlifted to safety after the flood.
Though less common than simply calling them survivors or victims, rescuees specifically emphasizes their relationship to those doing the rescuing.
