The crew of the Humanity 1 managed to rescue 12 people today. Among them were six women – and a baby just a few days old, whom the mother had given birth to without any medical assistance. They had been travelling for 20 hours from Abu Kammash in Libya in a tiny boat that was completely unsuitable for the open sea. The Italian authorities assigned us the port of Naples for disembarkation, a three-day journey of almost 800 kilometres. The same evening, our crew requested for the newborn and his mother to be evacuated, as they needed the medical care of a hospital.
