Heartbreaking images captured the moment when the bodies of a woman and toddler were discovered in the Mediterranean Sea
News24xx.com - Heartbreaking pictures that captured the shocking moment when the bodies of migrant woman and toddler were discovered floating beside the wreckage of a destroyed boat.
It's very sad to saw the little boy and his mother were found alongside a survivor 80 nautical miles from the Libyan coast.
Before, from an investigation, a migrant aid group has since accused Libya’s coast guard of abandoning the three people in the Mediterranean Sea. Proactiva Open Arms, a Spanish rescue group, said it found one woman that alive on Tuesday, July 17 2018, but another woman dead, along with the body of a toddler.
The organisation posted images and videos of the wreckage and the dead bodies on social media.
Libyan Coast Guard spokesman Ayoub Gassim said earlier that a boat carrying 158 passengers including 34 women and nine children had been stopped Monday off the coast.
He said the migrants were given humanitarian and medical aid and were taken to a refugee camp in Khoms. But, two woman and a toddler was refused to bring to the camp. The guard said the two women and the toddler had refused to board the Libyan vessels. Then, the Libyan coast guard destroyed the migrants’ boat and they were abandoned in the sea.
The head of Proactiva Open Arms, Oscar Camps, has since blamed the Italian government’s cooperation with Libyan authorities for the death of the woman and the toddler.
At least 1,443 people are dead or missing in the dangerous Mediterranean Sea route up to July 15 this year, according to the U.N. migration agency.
Many residents in Libya has fleeing poverty and civil war in Africa and the Middle East, as traffickers exploit the lawlessness and chaos that has engulfed the country since an uprising in 2011.
Italy’s new government has vowed to halt the influx of migrants across the Mediterranean and has given aid to Libyan authorities to do that. Both Italy and Malta have blocked aid groups from operating rescue boats in the Mediterranean, either by refusing them entry to their ports or by impounding their vessels and putting their crews under investigation.
Human rights activists have sharply criticized that, saying migrants being returned to Libya are at risk of facing beatings, abuse, rape and slavery.
The overall number of migrants and refugees entering Europe by sea this year totals 50,872.
