Over 100 migrants spared death enroute to Europefrom AHMED ZAYED in Tripoli, LibyaTRIPOLI, (CAJ News) – AN infant, pregnant women, children and their families are among 39 people medical doctors have evacuated from an overcrowded rubber boat on a deadly trip way to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea. More than 400 migrants have died in the Mediterranean Sea since the beginning of the year during attempts to reach Europe. The casualties are African migrants crossing from Libya, the hostile North African country that was at the centre of the resurfacing of slave trade last year. Migrants appear undeterred by the Mediterranean infamous reputation as a cemetery due to the large amounts of migrants who have drowned there after their boats capsized. Meanwhile, scores of immigrants that have failed to travel to Europe are detained under appalling conditions in the North African country.
