(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 3 - The Humanity 1 on Saturday rescued 30 migrants and refugees from an overcrowded rubber boat in distress in the Maltese search and rescue area.
    The survivors, who had departed from Sabratha in Libya, included four women and 11 minors, including a two-month-old boy.
    "The rescued people are exhausted but their medical condition is stable," said the German NGO SOS Humanity, which operates the vessel.
    Following the rescue the Italian authorities assigned the Adriatic port of Ancona for disembarkation.
    "This means four day of sailing, unnecessarily endangering the condition and health of the rescued and vulnerable people," added the NGO. (ANSA).
