NGO Open Arms rescued 263 people in the Mediterranean after their boats sank trying to reach Europe. A woman was heard screaming: "I lose my baby!" 5 adults and a 6-month-old baby died. It is the only rescue boat still operating in the Mediterranean, after Italy blocked others.
Almost 100 people drowned in the Mediterranean on Thursday trying to reach Europe. 74 died when a boat capsized near Libya. 20 other people died in another shipwreck, with just 3 traumatized women surviving, @MSF_Sea said: "They saw loved ones disappear beneath the waves."

Today is #WorldAnimalDay ! We’re not the only residents that call Europe home. From the Mediterranean monk seal to the red kite, thousands of creatures live here too. Natura 2000 – the largest network of protected areas in the world – offers a haven to Europe's species.
About 220 migrants drowned off Libya's coast over the last several days, trying to make it to Europe, says the UN. About 3,116 people died crossing the Mediterranean in 2017.
Undoubtedly one of the photos of 2014. The new reality of the Mediterranean. And the challenge for Europe.
