About 300 refugees rescued by a Mediterranean vessel

On Sunday, "Sea-Eye 4" saved over 170 people. Among them are children, including an eight-month-old baby, as well as a pregnant woman. " Fortunately, there are no severely injured survivors," the ship's doctor said.

On Monday, Sea-Eye tweeted about another 99 survivors.

Earlier, the crew of the ship also received an appeal for help from about 50 people in a small wooden boat, but found it empty," said "Sea-Eye".

During the operation, the crew spotted Frontex's aircraft and felt that the people in the boat had become "victims of another illegal expulsion for the EU countries' suggestion and that people had been sent back to Libyan detention camps," said Sea-Eye Gorden Isler.

Rebuilt in Rostock, the former supply ship "Sea-Eye 4", belonging to the association founded in 2015, began a mission in early May to rescue immigrants in distress in the middle of the Mediterranean.
