Over the weekend and on Monday, about 7,000 illegal immigrants were rescued from overcrowded boats crossing
the Mediterranean into Italy. One of the migrants was a pregnant
Nigerian woman. The woman went into labour while being rescued from a
boat and gave birth to a baby girl. The baby has been named Francesca
Marina as a tribute to the Italian Navy (Marina Militare).
Crew from the Italian navy ship Bettica found the Nigerian woman in labour on a boat – one of 34 vessels intercepted over the weekend. This photo above (left) released by the Italian navy shows the baby girl sleeping in a makeshift cradle decorated with a pink bow.
Numbers risking the journey in search of a better life have continued
to rise two weeks after as many as 900 people drowned in the worst
Mediterranean shipwreck in living memory.
