At least 1,300 migrants of various African nationalities, including
Nigeria, have been rescued from the Mediterranean by Medecins Sans
Frontieres (MSF Sea) with the help of Sea Watch, in the last 48 hours.
The search and rescue vessels, Aquarius, Dignity and Argos brought on
board the migrants, some of them women, children, including toddlers and
babies. They were later transfered to Sicilly, Italy.
Every year, thousands of people fleeing violence, insecurity or in
search of better life attempts a treacherous journey across the
Mediterranean Sea. More than 1,200 people this year alone have drowned
or gone missing after their boats capsized or sank.
