Migrants rescued a few days on the oil platform

Thirty -two migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean were saved by a NGO ship, having spent several days on the oil platform off the Tunisia coast.

“Women, Men and Children” were affected by food without food and water, the migrant migrant charity reports. One person on the platform died, the charity said.

NGO SEA Watch said it managed to save all 32 people from the gas platform on Tuesday afternoon and that they are looked after on board Aurora.

However, the final place of Aurora was incomprehensible, as no country near the Sales Port, Sea Watch said.

It adds that no European country has intervened, “despite the rapid emergency” and the fact that the people found themselves in the international waters at the Tunisian and Maltese search and rescue zones (SAR).

The NGO Monitoring of the SEABIRD NGO reportedly noticed an empty rubber boat near the March 1 platform.

Then the shipwreck crashed, managed to contact the alarm phone – an emergency hot line for migrants in the sea. They said they were without food all day long and their condition was critical. They also reported one person’s death, Sea Watch said.

In the video, obviously shot one of the people on the platform and shared NGOs on social media, a young man in a white T -shirt could hear that he and others “suffer from hunger and die from the cold.”

Speaking to the tiger – the language in which they spoke in Ethiopia and Eritrea – the man said they left Libya five days ago and that the nonsense they went to.

“Those who reached him and did not die in the sea, die from hunger and exhaustion, if no one will do anything in a few hours that we will obviously die … We only have little chance (to survive),” he said.

Behind him were several people, obviously trembling from the cold when the waves crashed into the pillars of the oil platform.

More than 210,000 people tried to cross the Central Mediterranean in 2023, according to the UN. More than 60,000 were intercepted and sent back to the African shore, and almost 2,000 lost their lives in the sea.
