13,000 People Rescued in One Week from Drowning in Mediterranean Sea

A total of 668 people were rescued off the coast of Libya by a flotilla of EU ships on Saturday, 28 May. This brings the number of people rescued in the last week to 13,000, said Italian authorities.

This rescue is the latest aided by a multinational patrol of Italian, Irish and German ships and other humanitarian groups operating in the Mediterranean, BBC reported.

Warmer weather has led to a surge of people trying to make journeys from Africa to Europe which is now the main migration route after EU-Turkey deal cut the number of people sailing to Greece.
