The lives of 270 people, among them women and children, still stranded on boats in Malta’s search and rescue zone are in grave danger, emergency hotline service Alarm Phone said on Saturday.
Three boats have been adrift for days now, despite merchant vessels captured on camera in the vicinity of the boats and the Armed Forces of Malta aware of the situation, said a spokesperson for the NGO.
“The situation of the 270 people at sea is still critical. Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) and the Italian Coast Guard refuse to provide assistance or to coordinate rescue by merchant vessels. They have all been abandoned at sea for many hours at risk of drowning. We don’t want another Easter tragedy” tweeted the NGO.
