Doctors Without Borders rescues nearly 300 migrants from drowning in the Mediterranean

Doctors Without Borders rescued about 300 migrants from drowning in the Mediterranean during several operations.

Today, Sunday, the organization stated that there were many women and children among those rescued, and indicated that they were on wooden and rubber boats.

The ship "C-A4" of the German non-governmental organization "CA" concerned with the relief of migrants and refugees from drowning, set out yesterday, Saturday, to the Mediterranean Sea to carry out another relief mission.

Activists with a relief initiative known as the "alarm phone" reported today, Sunday, that two boats carrying a total of 129 people were in an emergency situation at sea, and they explained that one of these two boats is in the search and relief area in Malta.

Many migrants set off mostly from the coasts of North Africa and try to reach the European Union in the hope of improving their lives or in search of protection.

They are mostly targeting Italy, where a new hotspot is now beginning to emerge on the coast of Calabria in the far south of the country, according to media reports.

The Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, wrote that some 7,000 migrants had already arrived in the coastal town of Roccella Ionica and other towns - three times more than the previous year.
