- (23 Jun 2016) More than 130 migrants were rescued from choppy waters in the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday after they were found floating off the coast of Libya during a joint rescue operation by Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) and SOS Mediterranee (SOS Mediterranean).
Packed into an overcrowded inflatable raft, the desperate group were dragged aboard the 'Aquarius' ship and given medical treatment.
38-year-old Liberian migrant Musa Fafani was one of the 132 migrants making the perilous journey.
He said he'd made the trip after he lost his family during the Ebola crisis.
The rescue operations were part of efforts that on Thursday alone saw some 4,000 migrants saved, according to the Italian coast guard.
The Italian navy said a new wave of migrant smugglers' boats that set out from Libyan shores and needed rescuing includes 31 rubber dinghies.
A navy statement says five of its boats helped in the rescue of 14 of the dinghies, for a total of 1,800 men, women and children saved.
Migrants aboard the other dinghies were rescued by vessels from the Italian coast guard, a European anti-smuggling naval deployment and ships operated by private aid organisations.
Authorities say Libya-based smugglers concentrated the departures of boats crowded with migrants in a single day because rough seas earlier in the week had prevented launching the unseaworthy fleet.

After seeing a lot the videos out, some I’m sue are chaotic!!! A few seemed a bit scripted. You would not believe how many agencies that are non-profit, private, and governments that are and have vested a lot of money to this influx of mass migration. Then the heartbreaker, the captain of the boat will say, “Okay,, were her to save you”. Even some have “and will take you to Italy”. The migrants are so happy, some sing, dance, pray. Only to find out this is as far as you can go. There isn’t anymore welcome centers, and there is no money allowances, etc. Once they are on deck of the ship that saved them to tell the migrants to tell the family it’s not worth the amount of money to get me there.

There's legal immigration process. Don't burden country. If you have $10,000 to pay smugglers use the money to start a business in your own country

I feel sorry for them too, but theirs about 2 billion poor people that would love to emigrate to europe…how many are we supposed to take in ? half a billion? A billion? All 2 billion ? what’s the limit? And what happens when you reach the limit and they still keep coming in ?
