NATO has denied a report claiming its military units failed to save dozens of migrants fleeing north Africa by boat which had been adrift in the ocean for 16 days, leading to the deaths of 61 people. British newspaper The Guardian said despite a distress call from the boat to the Italian coastguard and a military helicopter and NATO warship, no rescue effort was attempted. |

Stranded in a country torn apart by a raging civil war, hundreds of Sub-Saharan migrants remain abandoned to an uncertain fate by the international community.
Moses Zerai founded a refugee coordination agency called Habeshia, which operates from within Vatican walls.
Fr Moses Zerai, founder and coordinator of Eritrean refugee
agency Habeshia, spends his time tracing lost relatives of migrants who
never arrived to their destinations. He also lobbies with governments to
intervene, rescue or protect migrants trapped in situations between
life and death.Stranded in a country torn apart by a raging civil war, hundreds of Sub-Saharan migrants remain abandoned to an uncertain fate by the international community.
