105 migrants being brought in

This night would have been their third out at sea.

A group of 105 migrants is being brought in by the Armed Forces of Malta later on this evening.

10 of the migrants, seven of which are women, have already been airlifted and taken to Mater Dei Hospital as they required urgent medical attention.

The rest are being transferred onboard an AFM vessel.

Sources said the AFM has been monitoring the group for the past 12 hours, who would have been spending their third night out at sea.
