Restating Reuters, the crew of NGO Sea-Eye’s ship Alan Kurdi rescued 32 migrants from an overcrowded rubber dinghy off the coast of Libya on Friday morning (December 27) after it received an emergency call late on Thursday (December 26), the organisation said.

In a statement, the Regensburg-based organisation Sea-Eye said among those rescued were 10 children including a three-month-old baby and five women, one of them pregnant. All of the rescued said they came from Libya.

According to Sea-Eye, the emergency call went out at 22.31 local time and was also forwarded to the Libyan rescue coordination centre, which didn’t react to the call even though the boat was still close to the Libyan coast.
