Italy's Coast Guard on Monday
coordinated the rescue of 1,850 asylum seekers off vessels in
distress in eight different operations in the Strait of Sicily.
The multiple rescues involved a Coast Guard ship, a Navy
ship, a merchant marine ship, and a ship from the EU EUNAVFOR
Med mission to combat people traffickers.
The asylum seekers were rescued off at least eight
different boats, including inflatables.
