Yet another tragedy in the Mediterranean: at least 60 migrants died of hunger and thirst on a dinghy that left Libya and headed for Italy . The 25 survivors told the crew of the Ocean Viking, the SOS Mediterranee ship that rescued them in the central Mediterranean yesterday.
«The survivors – says the NGO – left Zawiya, Libya, seven days before being rescued. The engine broke down after three days, leaving the boat adrift without water or food. Survivors say at least 60 people died during the journey, including several women and at least one child ."
Two of the 25 rescued were taken to hospital in Sicily by the Italian Coast Guard: they apparently fainted on board the ship and the medical staff on board were unable to revive them, so the medical evacuation procedure was triggered.
