A group of 84 migrants have
been rescued off Malta from a dinghy, Maltese officials say.
THE migrants rescued on Friday – 51 men, 32
women and a young girl – identified themselves as Somalis.
Hundreds of African migrants have landed in
Malta this year. Many of the migrants have reached the island nation from
Libya, where border controls have been lax since the overthrow of Muammar
Gaddafi.
