Clinging to a tube
Girl survived shipwreck off Lampedusa alone
An eleven-year-old girl has been rescued by the German NGO ship "Trotamar III" off the island of Lampedusa. The brave child was the only survivor to save herself with the help of a tube and a life jacket.
45 migrants had set off from Sfax in Tunisia in the direction of Italy. According to the girl from Sierra Leone, the boat sank due to a storm.
The little girl kept herself afloat with the help of a hose and a life jacket until she was rescued. The child arrived in Lampedusa at 6 a.m. on Wednesday.
Before the young girl's arrival, a total of 356 migrants landed on Lampedusa on Wednesday night. They were traveling on five boats. All passengers stated that they had set off from Libya.
