La nave Open Arms Uno ha messo in salvo diciannove persone arrivate dalla Siria e dal Sudan. I migranti si trovavano nel Mediterraneo, in acque internazionali della Libia SAR (Search and Rescue), su una barca che aveva iniziato ad affondare. Tra i soccorsi dai membri dell’ong spagnola quattro bambini e due neonati. Tuttavia, i soccorritori non sono arrivati in tempo per salvare una donna che è caduta in mare e ha perso la vita, come testimoniano le persone che viaggiavano a bordo dell’imbarcazione.

Questa è stata la prima missione di salvataggio della nave, partita da Barcellona lo scorso 9 agosto con l’obiettivo di salvare vite umane, insieme alle navi Humanity 1 e Sea Watch 3 che operano nel Mediterraneo.
