Open Arms rescues more than 100 migrants in the Mediterranean Sea

“Very hard work tonight to recover the castaways from a drifting boat with more than 100 people, using 3 Astral life rafts.  We do not know if any life has been lost and no news from Tunisia, Malta and Italy. Where is Europe?  Why did the authorities not respond to Mayday?” tweeted Oscar Camps, the founder of Open Arms.

According to the statistics from the U.N. refugee agency, the UNHCR, and the International Organization for Migration, at least 1,300 migrants drowned or went missing in the Mediterranean Sea in 2021. (ILKHA)
