Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLibya’s coastguard says it rescued more than 100 migrants Monday after the engine on their rubber dinghy broke down as they tried to reach Europe across the Mediterranean.
“We rescued 121 migrants on a rubber boat which broke down” off the town of Qarabulli, 60 kilometres (35 miles) east of Tripoli, Lieutenant Mohammed Dandi, a coastguard commander, tells AFP.
It was the second such operation in a matter of days, after 104 migrants were rescued on Thursday in the same area under similar circumstances.
