Scottish photographer Mathieu Willcocks captioned these photos of two
migrants from West Africa drowning in the Mediterranean being rescued by
Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS). The migrants were among those
rescued this week while attempting to cross the sea on a overcrowded
rubber boat. Both were struggling in the water, one pushing the other
under.
Their rubber boat had started to sink and many migrants ended up in the
water.
Fortunately, the MOAS rescue team was there in time to distribute life
jackets and assist the migrants. These two guys panicked and struggled
in the water for a very short moment before being pulled to the safety
of a large flotation device nearby.
