Two two-year-old children and a 30-year-old man died of starvation on a migrant dinghy rescued yesterday afternoon by the NGO ship Nadir.
Late in the evening, a Coast Guard patrol boat took care of a medical evacuation, after the NGO volunteers launched the SOS.
57 people landed in Lampedusa: 13 women and two minors from Gambia, Ghana, Niger, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Togo. Some of them had burns and were debilitated, as soon as they landed after midnight at the Favarolo dock they were taken to the polyclinic.
Also on board the ship are the three bodies, already taken to the mortuary of the Cala Pisana cemetery: they would have died of hunger and thirst since, apparently, the dinghy that set sail from Libya remained adrift for several days, until yesterday afternoon, after the report by Frontex, it was intercepted by the crew of the sailing vessel by the German non-governmental organization ResQship.
