Heartbreaking images captured the shocking moment the bodies of a drowned woman and toddler were discovered floating beside the wreckage of a destroyed migrant boat.
The little boy and woman were found alongside a survivor 80 nautical miles from the Libyan coast. A migrant aid group has since accused Libya’s coast guard of abandoning the three people in the Mediterranean Sea.
Proactiva Open Arms, a Spanish rescue group, said it found one woman alive on Tuesday and another dead, along with the body of a toddler. The organisation posted images and videos of the wreckage and the dead bodies on social media, accusing both a merchant ship sailing in international waters and Libya’s coast guard for failing to help the trio.
