Migrants rescued after several days stranded on oil platform

Thirty -two immigrants were rescued trying to cross the Mediterranean by a non -governmental organized ship after spending a few days on a way on an oil platform off the coast of Tunisia.

“Women, men and children” were drowned without food or water, according to the Mediterranean, a charity to save migrants. The Charitable Society said that one person on the platform had died.

NGO SEA WATCH said it was able to save all 32 people from the gas platform on Tuesday afternoon, and that they were taken care of on board the aror.

However, the final destination of Ura was not clear as there was no near a country that the ship did not know the port of Aman, the sea said.

He added that no European country intervened “despite the imminent emergency” and the fact that people were cut off in international waters on the borders of the Tunisian and Maltese regions of search and rescue (SAR).

Non -governmental organizations surveillance aircraft photographed empty sea aircraft near the platform on March 1.

Then the people who watered the ship were able to call a phone warning – an emergency hotline for migrants with a problem with the sea. In the call, they said they were without food for several days and that their condition was decisive. They also reported the death of one person.

In a video clip that was apparently filmed by a person on the platform, and NGOs share it on social media, a young man can be heard in a white shirt saying that he and others “suffer from hunger and die from the cold.”

Speaking of Tigrinya – a language that spoke in Ethiopia and Eritrea – the man said they had left Libya five days ago and that the boat they were traveling on.

“Those who made it here and did not die in the sea die from hunger and fatigue, if nothing in the few hours does anything we will die on clear … We have only a little opportunity [to survive]He said.

Behind him there were several people trembling with the cold as the waves were shattered on the podiums of the oil platform.

More than 210,000 people tried to cross in the Mediterranean in 2023, according to the data of the United Nations. More than 60,000 were intercepted and sent to African beaches, and nearly 2000 lost their lives at sea.
