NGO ship rescued 49 migrants

On Nov 17, the 'Life Support' arrived at the port of Ancona with 49 rescued migrants on board, including six women and six unaccompanied minors from Syria, Egypt, and Bangladesh. The rescue took place on Nov 12 in international waters within the Maltese SAR area in the Central Mediterranean. The migrants had departed from Al-Zawiya, Libya, aboard a small, overcrowded fiberglass boat that was ill-equipped for a Mediterranean crossing and lacked adequate safety measures. It was the first time that the authorities assigned the ship the port of Ancona, but overall it was the fifth time that it was sent to the northern Atlantic, which means long navigation away from the SAR area, therefore a long absence from the operational area.

Rescued migrants disembarked in Naples

The disembarkation operations of the 41 castaways rescued by the 'Life Support' on July 29 between 3 a.m. and 3:45 a.m. in the international waters of the Libyan SAR zone in the central Mediterranean, have ended in the port of Naples on Aug 1. The migrants, including three unaccompanied minors, had been travelling on board a small fibreglass boat.
