A pregnant woman on board the rescue ship Sea-Eye 4 is in critical condition, the German humanitarian NGO said in a statement on Saturday. A helicopter could reach the pregnant woman in acute danger of her life in less than an hour. The so-called Libyan Coast Guard was already on site and the Sea-Eye crew documented that there were people in the water. During the escape attempt, some people fell into the water, whereupon the Sea-Eye crew deployed rescue equipment and a lifeboat. Furthermore, people from the rubber boat are missing and it is not clear whether they were brought back by the so-called Libyan coast guard or drowned during their operation.
