The rescuers between three sisters say in a migrant boat in the Mediterranean

A German Salvation Association said that three sisters sank in a rubber boat carrying migrants in the middle of the Mediterranean after they were washed over and over the waves of 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) on the ship.

RESQSHIP added that about 65 people were rescued, including the mother of the sisters and her brother, as well as three pregnant women and a seven -month -old child.

The Charitable Society said that the “crowded, rough” rubber boat had left visitors in Libya and “began to take increasing amounts of water” a few hours later.

Libya is a major launch platform for immigrants who are taking the treacherous trip across the Mediterranean, hoping to reach the Italian island of Lampedosa.

Reschis said in a statement that the sisters who drowned were at the age of nine, 11 and 17 years.

Remember how their bodies were discovered Early on Saturday, Barbara Sartor, the charitable communications coordinator on the rescue ship, Nader, said that while the survivors were evacuated one by one, I heard “cries and one of them entered the water inside the boat.”

“It has become clear that there are bodies under the surface,” said Sartor.

“The boat was dangerous, and it was dark, the water was flowing, and people were panicked. In that chaos, it was impossible to see that the three sisters, sitting in the depths of the boat, had already drowned. When the survivors realized, that was a transparent terror.”

RESQSHIP said that many survivors have suffered from severe chemical burns due to a mixture of sea water and gasoline inside the boat, and they require medical treatment.

The charity added that one person had fallen earlier.

The Coast Guard in Italy evacuated 14 people on Saturday afternoon and took them to Lampedosa, while the rescue ship later arrived with the rest of the survivors and the bodies of girls.

“What happened to the three sisters is unimaginable, as well as the danger that people face on the movement in search of safety,” said Katsa Schnitzer, a member of the rescue boat crew.

The Charitable Society did not give the nationalities of girls or survivors.

UN agencies say more than 700 people died in an attempt to cross the Mediterranean in the Mediterranean from North Africa this year.

They say the searches and rescue need to increase, and the safety of the survivors is guaranteed when it is removed.
