Distressed migrants rescued to Lampedusa
35 distressed migrants on a wooden boat have been safely brought to Lampedusa, Resqship has said
The distressed migrants were assisted by the Nadir crew.
Resqship in post said: “The Nadir crew assisted approximately 35 people in distress on an overcrowded wooden boat. The boat had a low freeboard and a poor stability. Their engine was still running, so the Nadir accompanied them towards Lampedusa until the Guardia di Finanza came.
“They took the people on board.There was another steel boat within sight of the Nadir. The people on this boat were rescued by the Italian coast guard. All the people were brought safely to Lampedusa.”
