A newborn is among asylum seekers on a boat in Malta’s Search and Rescue Zone that has been taking in water throughout the night, according to emergency hotline Alarm Phone.
Eighty people including four women and eight children, aboard the boat became especially worried this morning when they started to observe more water leaking in, said an NGO spokesperson.
“At around 6am the situation got worse. They are extremely distressed about the leaks, and are asking for urgent help,” she said.
