Two unidentified Nigerian siblings aged
11 and 10, were rescued in the Mediterranean on Friday 29, July, after losing
their mother in the deep sea while on a dangerous journey to Europe. See photos after the cut
The heartbreaking photographs of the boy and girl by Associated Press were published by Dailymail as they sobbed and comforted each other aboard a rescue boat. According to Dailymail, the
children were part of 150 migrants rescued by an NGO’s boat while trying
to make the journey from Libya to Europe aboard an overcrowded craft.
A leading migration group had said more
than 3,000 people had died while trying to cross the Mediterranean this
year, nearly a 60 per cent increase from this time in 2015.
The latest rescue came after Italy on
Thursday launched a hard-hitting campaign on the Internet, TV, radio and
social media to warn African migrants of the many dangers they face in
trying to reach Europe.
