(Times of Malta) Migrants who have spent the past three days aboard a ship built to house animals were brought to Malta late on Tuesday night.
Sources said that the roughly 50 people aboard the MV Talia were transferred to an Armed Forces of Malta vessel. They were brought to shore at around midnight.
A video clip shared by NGO rescue hotline Alarm Phone at roughly 11.30pm showed people being transferred from a large ship to an AFM vessel.
“Finally, after days kept in inhumane conditions on a livestock carrier off Malta’s coast, the people who called us when in distress at sea are allowed to reach land in Europe!” the NGO wrote.
