Nigerian woman amongst rescued immigrants gives birth on one of the boats
Over the
weekend on Monday about 7,000 illegal immigrants were rescued from overcrowded
boats crossing the Mediterranean into Italy.
Among them was a pregnant Nigerian
woman, while on the point of her rescue, she went into labour and gave birth to a baby girl. The new born baby
girl has since being named Francesca Marina as a tribute to the Italian Navy.
The numbers
of people risking their lives as they try to journey to Italy by crossing the Mediterranean
keeps growing and people keep dying and more keep trying to do the same
