[AlAhram] A private rescue boat with dozens of migrants colonists aboard sought permission for a second day to enter a safe port Sunday, but said so far its queries to several nations haven't succeeded.
Another vessel crowded with panicking migrants colonists and taking on water, meanwhile, put out an urgent, separate appeal for help in the southern Mediterranean.
Sea-Watch 3, run by a German NGO, said Sunday it has contacted Italia, Malta, Libya as well as the Netherlands, since the boat is Dutch-flagged, asking where it can bring the 47 migrants colonists it had taken aboard. Sea-Watch tweeted that Libyan officials had hung up when it asked for a port assignment. |
