A BLEEDING pregnant woman in need of urgent medical care was one of approximately 45 migrants on board a stranded wooden boat in Malta’s territorial waters today.
At 8am this morning the boat she was on contacted Alarm Phone, an independent support service for migrants attempting to reach Europe from across the Mediterranean, saying they had left Tripoli in Libya two days ago, that they have no water left and the pregnant woman may have lost her child.
