A baby boy was born yesterday, September 12th, on
board MV Aquarius, a search and rescue vessel run
in partnership between MSF and SOS Mediterranee.
He was born to Nigerian parents, who have
named him Newman Otas. His parents, Otas and
Faith, and older brothers Victory, seven, and
Rollres, five, were rescued from an overcrowded
rubber boat 24 hours earlier.
Currently 392 people are on board after two
rubber boats were rescued and one transfer
accepted: 155 people on board are under 18, 141
of them are traveling alone – without a parent or
guardian accompanying them. There are 11
children under five and now four babies under a
year.
