NATO vehemently denies that a carrier partner to ignore the requests for help from a boat with dozens of African immigrants in the Mediterranean, according to The Guardian died of hunger and thirst after spending 16 days adrift when trying to reach Italian island Lampedusa. "There were no NATO ships in the area," said Carmen Romero, spokeswoman for the Alliance, while seeking information under the command of the operation's headquarters in Naples.
"Only an aircraft carrier, the Italian Garibaldi, was at sea at this time, but acted a hundred nautical miles (180 kilometers) and saw nothing." All least 11 immigrants died of thirst and starvation during the voyage, according to British newspaper. "Every morning we got up and we found more bodies, which we threw into the sea," she told The Guardian Abu Kurka, one of the survivors.
The barge left Tripoli on March 25 charged with 47 Ethiopians, seven Nigerians, seven Eritreans, six Ghanaians and five Sudanese. Of these, 20 were women and two children, one of only a year old. At 18 hours after the ship began to have problems and ran out of fuel, about 60 miles (110 kilometers) off the Libyan coast.
After 16 days adrift, in which ran out of food and water, April 10 currents swept the boat to a town near Misrata, where two of the 11 survivors died. Kurka tells British newspaper that at one point of the voyage, the sea came a boat to an aircraft carrier while it was impossible not spotted them.
Two planes took off from the ship and the barge flew at low altitude, while immigrants made them desperate signals and raised the two children to see them. But the survivor says they made no attempt to rescue. According to research by The Guardian, the only aircraft carrier operating in the area at that time was the French Charles de Gaulle, which is involved in operations to enforce the exclusion zone in Libya, but not under the command of joint command in Naples .
Allied sources indicate that Paris has assured them that his flagship was not in the area. The French Navy as demiente So far no official statement from the French Navy on the sinking of immigrants and information from The Guardian. But a spokesman for the French general staff denied this morning at 89 Rue digital newspaper that the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle, as suggested by the newspaper, was found with the barge of African immigrants in danger and ran to his aid.
"We have not come across this type of boat. If you did, we would come to help. We are not mentioned. It is not a French ship," said the spokesman referred to the digital publication. The NATO spokesman has insisted that NATO is aware of the obligations imposed by maritime law to all vessels to respond to requests for help.
"We have rescued people in the past and we will continue," said Romero, who talks about how on the night of 26 to 27 March, when the sub-Saharan refugee boat had already left Tripoli, several allied units involved in two rescues that saved the lives of 510 people. Those castaways were landed in Italy.
"During the passage the fugitives were other military vessels also respond," said the priest but Zerai Moses, director of the Rome-based NGO Habeshia, in a telephone interview. Zerai was among the last to speak with immigrants from the barge before they drain the phone battery had satellite.
According to his version, told the Italian Coast Guard shortly after a military helicopter flew over the boat, water and cookies provided to immigrants, and asked them by signs that were kept there until a rescue ship arrived. No country has admitted sending the helicopter, according to British newspaper.
A spokesman for the Italian Coast Guard was quoted by The Guardian said that Malta warned that "the ship was heading to his area of rescue" and that "triggered the alert for the initiation of the search for the boat, forcing them to try rescue. " Asked by El Pais, the Coast Guard commander of Lampedusa, Antonio Morana, says he does not remember if his department received the alarm, but in any case explains that the skiff was spotted 120 miles (220 kilometers) south of Lampedusa outside the water SAR (search and rescue) in the Italian and Libyan jurisdiction, and that in such cases, he says, "always give notice to Rome, because we can not intervene." The Maltese authorities have denied any involvement with the barge, according to British newspaper.
Research requests by human rights organizations have called for an investigation into the deaths, while the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has called for a strict cooperation between military and commercial ships in the Mediterranean in an effort to save lives. NATO has stated that Allied naval units rescued in late March at two boats in distress from Libya, which had about 300 and 210 passengers on board.
The regime of Muammar Gaddafi used the thousands of desperate people seeking to flee the civil war in Libya as a weapon against Europe, opening the hand and allowing the outflow of migrants on boats in poor condition, according to reports from the Archbishop of Tripoli Giovanni Martinelli, and UNHCR.
The newspaper L'Unita reported Wednesday that Gaddafi has appointed a senior Navy official Libyan Zuhair Adam, organize landings at large for use as a weapon against Italy. Ironically, Adam is a well-known military Italian Interior Ministry, as part of a group of Libyan officials who took a course in coastal patrol techniques when Italy and Libya signed a bilateral agreement to return the immigrants.
According to the director of Habeshia since the war began three months ago Libya "has killed more than 1,000 people, mostly Somalis and Ethiopians trying to reach European shores by sea." Last Friday, a ferry with 600 passengers sank near the Libyan coast and there were only 130 survivors.
Yesterday he again lived dramatic moments thrown in the water more than 500 passengers who arrived in Lampedusa in another vessel, including many women and children. Although at first it was believed that everyone had been rescued convicted by a human chain formed by members of the security forces, volunteers, humanitarian organizations and citizens including journalists, three bodies have appeared today in the sunken boat.
Thus, according to latest figures provided by the Italian authorities, 528 people were rescued, while at least three died in the wreck.
