On board the ship there are 82 migrants, after a woman who was pregnant on the ninth month of her pregnancy and her husband were evacuated to Malta by helicopter yesterday.

"There are - says Msf - 82 vulnerable people aboard the Ocean Viking who are waiting for a safe harbor: 58 men, 6 women, 17 minors and a one year old child. Who knows how many others will lose their lives in the Mediterranean while EU states deliberate on their destiny ".
