LA VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Yesterday evening, the rescue ship Aurora, aided by Seabird operated by the civil rescue organization Sea Watch and the NGO Alarm Phone, responded to a distressed boat in treacherous conditions, with strong winds and high waves.
The crew provided life vests and secured the 85 migrants on board until the Italian coastguard arrived to complete the rescue. Meanwhile, the fate of 60 migrants remains uncertain after they were reported in distress off the Libyan coast.
The NGO Alarm Phone stated that authorities were alerted to the situation when the migrants’ boat began taking on water approximately 15 kilometers from shore.
