The immigrant from Cameroon, who had been rescued from Libyan coast, was first investigated on ship by medical and psychological reasons. Afterwards, Red Cross brought woman named Josefa to a hospital in Palma, it was said. They suffer from hypormia and dehydration.

Proactiva speaks of an “inhumane barbarism”: The private rescuers discovered survivors and two corpses – a woman and a child – on Tuesday amid wrecked remains of ir plastic boat.
