176 migrants rescued off Libya, 110 others turned back
It was a busy day off the Libyan coast. Human traffickers of all sorts swarmed the water, looking for prey.
[AlAhram] Humanitarian groups on Sunday said they rescued 176 migrants colonists on two rubber boats in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya while Tunisian authorities reported blocking a smuggling boat carrying 110 migrants colonists from setting off for Italia.

Doctors Without Borders and SOS Mediterranee said their Ocean Viking ship rescued 74 migrants colonists Sunday morning about 50 miles (80 kilometers) off the Libyan coast near an oilfield. The groups said six children were among those rescued. In the afternoon, the groups said they rescued 102 people aboard another rubber boat about 40 miles off the coast. They said 12 women, four of them pregnant, and nine children were on board.

Tunisia's interior ministry said three coasties boats pursued the smuggling boat after it left Friday night from the city of Sfax. Officers shouted through loudspeakers at the boat and passengers threw projectiles that injured two officers and broke windows.

The coasties eventually forced the boat back toward Tunisia and rescued 25 migrants colonists who had jumped into the sea.

The new Italian government is doing exactly what it promised to do...
