(ROME) — Italian coast guard and navy ships, aided by Irish and German vessels as well as humanitarian organizations, saved 668 migrants from smugglers’ boats in distress in the Mediterranean off Libya on Saturday, Italian and Irish officials said. The rescues are the latest by a multi-national patrol south of Sicily that has saved thousands this week. The Irish military said the vessel Le Roisin, deployed earlier this month in the humanitarian search and rescue mission, saved 123 migrants from a 12-meter-long (40-foot) rubber dinghy and recovered a male body.
