Rome, 1 August (LaPresse) – ‘The pregnant woman whose waters broke on board the commercial ship Port Fukouka was evacuated together with her husband to Lampedusa. The others are on their way to Italy after two endless days of waiting. Destination: Pozzallo.’ This was announced by the NGO Sea Watch. ‘The Italian authorities could have reached and rescued the people in a few hours, and our rescue ship “Aurora” could have done the same, had it not been stopped by the authorities on a pretext,’ the NGO continues. ‘The bodies of two dead children will also arrive in Pozzallo. Another person has disappeared in the waves. Victims of the European authorities' failure to provide assistance.’
