Rescued migrant gives birth to twins
The migrants on the deck of the Russian bulk carrier Yelena Shatrova.
A woman who was airlifted to Malta yesterday after a group of 67 illegal migrants was rescued, has given birth to twins.
The woman was already in labour when she was flown off the deck of the Russian bulk carrier 'Yelena Shatrova' by a helicopter of the Italian military mission. She was accompanied by a four-year-old son.
The remaining migrants were brought to Malta this morning by the bulk carrier after rough seas prevented a transfer to an AFM patrol boat late yesterday.

dear I galea, thanks to our generosity and the precious assistance of the AFM. a mother could give life to twins. Had I been that mother, I most probably would have done the same as she did and embarked on that boat to look for a better future for myself and my children. It is everybody´s right to have a decent life !

Many remember last summer's tragedy allegations that Moroccan naval forces sank a boat in the meditteranean which at least 28 people drowned. "We begged them to look at our babies and children." A soldier deliberately penetrated the boat with a knife and watched with hands crossed the sinking of the boat.
Anyone ethically agrees ? .........I pray the Almighty: NO
