SOS Méditerranée uppger sig ha "räddat" de illegala tredje världen-invandrarna – av bilderna att döma endast män – med sitt fartyg Ocean Viking.
Dessa stackars "flyktingar" har enligt organisationen "hellre tagit risken att dö än att stanna kvar i Libyen".
"Vi uppmanar EU att samordna så att de 572 räddade människorna på vårt fartyg snabbt kan gå i land på en säker plats", skriver SOS Méditerranée i ett pressmeddelande.
Overnight, the @SOSMedIntl team performed a rescue operation of a large wooden boat in the Libyan SRR.
369 people have been safely evacuated after over 5 hours of operation, with a boat at high risk of capsizing at all times.

On the aft deck of the #OceanViking, 572 survivors are in urgent need of a #PlaceOfSafety to disembark. We will run out of prepacked food rations in a couple of days.
Our crew fulfilled their legal and moral duty to rescue. It is time for able-to-assist states to do their part. pic.twitter.com/2tfb6MUfBH— SOS MEDITERRANEE (@SOSMedIntl) July 6, 2021
