A patrol boat of the Libyan Navy managed to rescue 91 illegal immigrants of different African nationalities, including 3 women and 2 children, about 35 miles northeast of Garabulli district. The migrants were transferred to Tripoli Naval Base and were provided with humanitarian and medical assistance, before being handed over to Al-Saba'a Illegal Immigration Control Centre. The Navy has heightened the alert status recently and intensified the patrols along the coast, due to the exceptional situation in the country.
