An 11-year-old girl survived three days in stormy seas by clinging to two tire inner-tubes after the migrant boat she was traveling on sank off the coast of Italy, a charity said. Rubber inner tubes, which the 11 year old girl used as floatation devices. She was found with the two inner-tubes and a life-vest and “had no drinking water or food with her, and although she was suffering from hypothermia, she was responsive and alert,” Compass Collective added. While they typically assist larger vessels, the crew of the 13-meter-long German Trotamar III sometimes perform urgent sea rescues as they did in this case. The vessel has saved 1,653 people in distress at sea since it began its operation in August 2023, Compass Collective said.

Rome CNN —An 11-year-old girl has been found clinging to tire tubes off the Italian coast after the migrant boat she was on sank three days earlier. The girl is from Sierra Leone and has been named as “Yasmine” in Italian media. A storm in the area at the time had halted operations for several NGO rescue vessels around the Italian island of Lampedusa. She is expected to survive, according to the Red Cross, which manages the migrant center on the island. Earlier this year, Italy attempted to open migrant processing centers in Albania, but their legality has been caught up in the Italian court system.
