Appy, from Nigeria was one of the people saved in the Mediterranean Sea
few days ago by the Migrant Offshore Aid Station. (MOAS). After his
rescue, he told his rescuers:
"I left Nigeria because I was forced to. We had no money, and not enough
food to feed all my family. When my father lost his job, me and my
older brother decided it was time to leave because it was the only way
to survive and try to help our family. The journey to Libya lasted three
months; it was terrible.
Crossing the desert, we spent three days with no food or water, and I really don’t know how we survived.
In Libya, we boarded a rubber boat to get us to Europe, but we got
completely lost at sea. I thought we were going to die. I cried and
prayed to God. The rubber boat was quickly deflating. When I saw your
boat, I thought it was a miracle. Now I know that we are going to Italy
and I am happy I made it. From now, I am confident I am going to be able
to help my family."
