One boat’s engine failed later that day and the other began to deflate, it quoted a survivor as saying. A survivor told MSF that “European rescuers” had come by aircraft and thrown life rafts, but migrants remained in the water for hours. They could have been saved if rescuers had come earlier,” MSF quoted the unidentified survivor as saying. Sudanese, Malians, Nigerians, Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Libyans, Algerians and Egyptians were among those on board the wrecked vessels. Many survivors were brought to the Libyan port of Khoms on Sep 2 by the Libyan coastguard, MSF said.
