Around 396 migrants onboard a wooden vessel have been rescued overnight by German and French humanitarian vessels in the Mediterranian Sea.

Migrants onboard included a three-month-old baby, and after being discovered in cramped conditions in dangerous waters, sent out distress signals after onboard flooding began approximately sixty-eight kilometers of the North African coast.  The rescue by the Sea-Watch 3 and the German NGO ResQ Ship are currently seeking a safe port to disembark.
