Another tragedy happened overnight in the Mediterranean, where immigrants from the coast of Africa continue to leave by boat towards Italy.

Italian media reports that a boat with an 11-year-old girl was found Wednesday morning in the open sea not far from Lampedusa. The girl, originally from Sierra Leone, was rescued by the operators of the Non-Governmental Organization Trotamar III, who then escorted her to the shore, writes A2.

According to the girl's testimony, the boat had left on December 8 from Sfax, Tunisia, and sank due to a storm. Of the 45 people on board, only the girl survived. She was found at sea by the Compass Collective sailing vessel, which was in the area on another rescue mission. The girl had managed to stay on the boat, while she was also helped by the life jacket.

Shortly before her arrival, another 356 migrants were rescued from five boats. One of the boats had 111 people on board. The rescues were carried out by coast guards, police and Frontex units. (A2 Televizion)
