There is also a 4-month-old baby girl among the three missing who ended up at sea during the rescue operations of the Trotamar III. In the SAR area, the sailing ship of the German NGO People in Motion, as soon as it spotted the boat loaded with migrants, provided life jackets to some of the people. And she did it while waiting for the coast guard patrol boat to arrive. However, the migrants became agitated and, trying to get closer to the NGO sailing ship, fell into the sea. The crew rescued 44 migrants, but three people - two men and a 4-month-old baby girl, originally from Guinea, who was traveling with her mother - were not recovered.
The searches, with coast guard patrol boats, are underway. What happened in international waters is yet another case: on March 25, after the rescue of a cargo ship, 3 young people ended up in the sea and were never found. The day before, a fifteen-year-old from Guinea who ended up in the water was considered missing and on March 23, a 15-month-old girl, after a shipwreck off the coast of Lampedusa, was not recovered.
