The NGO run migrant rescue ship
Open Arms is currently rescuing some 100 migrants from the
waters of the central Mediterranean, the NGO said Wednesday.
It said the migrants who risk drowning include several women and
children.
Open Arms said the rickety boat they were travelling on had
collapsed and tipped them into the sea.
The migrants are expected to be taken to the island of Lampedusa
once they have been recovered.
