A rescue ship operated by
Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF - Doctors Without Borders) is
heading to Italy after saving over 200 people in the southern
Mediterranean and recovering 25 dead bodies, the medical-aid NGO
said Wednesday.
The victims were aboard a dinghy that ran into trouble
some 26 miles from the Libya coast and ended up immersed in a
mix of water and fuel.
MSF's Bourbon Argos ship picked up 107 survivors and 139
more from a migrant-boat in the same area.
The ship is set to arrive in Reggio Calabria at 11:00 on
Thursday.
