Two newborns fell into the Mediterranean Sea but only one could be saved after a dilapidated dinghy with 100 refugees on board ripped, a nurse has revealed. 'When our rescuers arrived, they found themselves in front of a dramatic scene,' Riccardo Gatti, President of the Open Arms NGO, told The Guardian. 'The boat had practically imploded and hundreds of people found themselves in the water, in the open sea – some were children.' Open Arms spokeswoman Laura Lanuza said the ship was headed towards Italian territorial waters and was waiting to be assigned a place of safety to disembark the other rescued people. The remaining 257 migrants and five dead bodies are still aboard the Open Arms rescue vessel as they await to find out where they can disembark.
