THE sole survivor of a group of migrants who attempted to reach Europe on a dinghy across the Mediterranean from Libya says passing ships ignored their cries for help.

Mohammed Adam Oga was one of 15 migrants — including a pregnant woman — who paid traffickers $700 (£575) to board the small boat near Zawia on August 1. 

Eleven days later, Malta’s Armed Forces spotted the dinghy in waters near the island nation with Mr Oga slumped over the body of his Somalian friend Ismail.
