AROUND 75 refugees, including children and several pregnant women, were rescued today after having been adrift in the Mediterranean since Sunday on a leaky boat with no food.
The boat contacted Alarm Phone, an independent support service for people crossing the Mediterranean to Europe, on Monday afternoon telling the charity that the boat was taking on water.
“This afternoon we were called by a group who fled the Tajoura camp where over 50 migrants were killed in July,” Alarm Phone tweeted.
