Italy’s coastguard says authorities have rescued about 4,400 refugees
who were stranded in overcrowded and rickety vessels in the
Mediterranean after receiving distress calls from 20 boats drifting in
waters off the Libyan coast. One of the biggest single-day rescue operations to date in the
Mediterranean Sea reportedly occurred on Saturday, the Italian navy
said. The rescued refugees included a group of 311, including a new-born
baby, who were picked up by a boat belonging to the humanitarian group
Doctors Without Borders. The boat is expected to dock on Monday in Vibo
Valentia in Calabria, according to port authorities.
