Malta: Critical situation on MV Marina carrying 77 migrants – Ship captain

The master of the vessel MV Marina Tuesday morning sent an urgent email to RCC Malta describing as critical the situation on board his ship which very early Sunday morning had been asked to take on board 77 migrants who were adrift at sea. The captain said that tension was mounting as migrants were getting aggressive towards each other, unsheathing knives and not obeying crew. Moreover, they had run out of water. Source: Newsbook
