And it is still a migrant emergency.

A boat carrying about thirty people was shipwrecked off the coast of Lampedusa.

Four are missing (three men and one woman). 

They traveled together with 26 other people on board a small boat of just five meters.

The Coast Guard soldiers managed to rescue 26 people 24 miles from the island.

Among them there was also a girl in a state of hypothermia and a boy who complained of severe pain in his chest. 

The migrants come from Liberia, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Senegal, Mali and Gambia.

A few hours earlier, another 28 people landed on the island, bringing the number of immigrants up to 54 who today were transferred to the hotspot in the Imbriacola district where at the moment there are 648 people of various ages and nationalities.

And it is in the Hotspot that relief is registered for a minor in the seventh month of pregnancy who began to suffer from severe pain and after a visit to the Outpatient Clinic she was transferred in helicopter rescue to the hospital in Agrigento.

"People continue to die at sea and this is simply unacceptable - says Sami Aidoudi, head of the Doctors Without Borders intervention in Lampedusa -. The people we are assisting have seen children die a few steps from the end of the voyage. They had Europe in front of your eyes".

Since the beginning of the year, more than 1,150 people have been dead or missing in the Mediterranean, while since 2014 the dead and missing are about 24,960.

Doctors Without Borders has been on site since Saturday with a team of psychologists and intercultural mediators, to offer assistance to the survivors of the last three tragedies in the Mediterranean in which two children and a newborn girl have lost their lives and 4 other people are missing.
