The Italian humanitarian organization “Emergency” announced on Saturday that it had rescued 87 migrants, including women and children, in the Mediterranean Sea off the Libyan coast.
The migrant boat had set off from Zawiya in northwestern Libya before being intercepted by the Life Support Emergency Rescue Ship on Friday night, the organization said.
The organization reported that the boat was overcrowded, and water and food had run out, with 8 women among the migrants, including a pregnant woman, 3 children and 14 minors.
The rescued migrants were from Sudan, Nigeria, Niger, South Sudan, Eritrea, Bangladesh, Mali, Togo, Chad, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, Senegal, and Ivory Coast.
“Médecins Sans Frontières” (MSF) noted that the lack of safe and legal options, as well as the violence against migrants in Libya, forces them to cross by sea and increases the number of victims.
