The “Ocean Viking” ship, affiliated with the “SOS Mediterranean” organization, succeeded in rescuing 41 migrants who were struggling from drowning on a dilapidated wooden boat, off the Libyan coast.
Among these migrants, there were two minors, who shared a dangerous journey with others in an attempt to reach safety.
In those difficult moments, the rescue team combined their efforts to be able to extract people from the clutches of the sea, as one of the migrants was suffering from hypothermia, while others were suffering from burns as a result of the leaked fuel.
The Italian maritime authorities designated the port of Ancon, located in eastern Italy, as a safe haven for survivors.
As they reached land, relief teams began providing the necessary care to the migrants, whose faces were marked by both exhaustion and hope.
It is noteworthy that the SOS Mediterranean organization has been able to save more than 40,000 people from drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, especially in the central sector, which is known to be the most dangerous migration route in the world, since 2016.
According to the International Organization for Migration, the number of people who died or went missing while trying to reach the shores of Europe through the Mediterranean Sea since January of this year reached 880 people.
