Rescued migrants on the deck of an Armed Forces of Malta patrol boat

Rescued migrants on the deck of an Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) patrol boat reach out for bottles of water being distributed by a soldier in a biohazard suit after arriving at the AFM's Maritime Squadron base at Haywharf in Valletta's Marsamxett Harbour. A Maltese patrol boat rescued about 80 migrants in a drifting dinghy off the island, but another 20 people were feared to have perished.
