【2020年08月30日讯】一艘移民救援船只,28日晚间在地中海发出紧急求救讯号,指船只搁浅,船上移民人数超载。意大利海岸防卫队29日派船驰援。
英国知名涂鸦艺术家班克西(Banksy)资助这艘船为德国籍的米歇尔号(Louise Michel),这个月27日以来在利比亚外海救起219名冒险渡海赴欧的移民,其中大多为非洲人。
28日夜里,米歇尔号上的10名船员发出连串推文求救,29日又说船上情况恶化,请求意大利、德国和马尔他当局协助。
意大利海岸防卫队接获消息后,从意国南端的拉姆培杜萨岛(Lampedusa)派遣巡防船,自米歇尔号上其中「看似最为体弱」的32名妇女、13名儿童和4名男性共49人,转至一艘由「海洋观察」(Sea Watch)及无国界医生组织(MSF)包租的船只。
米歇尔号上其他移民后来都被转到其他船艇上。获救移民说,米歇尔号抵达前,已有3人在海上死亡。(新唐人)
The crew managed to keep #LouiseMichel stable for almost 12h now. Our new friends told us they lost 3 friends on their journey already. Including the dead body in our one life raft, that makes 4 lives vanished because of Fortress Europe… And we are still waiting. pic.twitter.com/Te2PKCv2Gn

These are the survivors you are turning your back on #EU. After escaping untold horror and inhumanity they need a place of safety. @guardiacostiera @Armed_Forces_MT you must act now. pic.twitter.com/W4IEUAGido
