According to AfricaNews the German charity SOS Humanity, which operates the rescue ship Humanity 1, has accused the Libyan coast guard of using violence and firing live bullets into the water during its "life-threatening intervention" on Saturday.
The charity said that many migrants who were aboard three unseaworthy boats bound for Europe were forced to jump into the water. The Humanity 1 managed to rescue 77 migrants, but many others were forced on board a Libyan coast guard boat, "separating at least six family members from each other," it said. At least one migrant drowned, it added.
