Stranded in the middle of the immense sea and hit by large waves, the Italian coast guard rescues more than 1,300 migrants who were sailing in three different boats along the most dangerous route in the Mediterranean.
Several boats were sent to help three vessels carrying hundreds of migrants in the central Mediterranean.
It should be noted that rescuers from Italy reported that at least 487 of them were brought safely to the port of Crotona.
Videos from the Coast Guard, released on Friday, showed a portion of the migrants on the deck of a large fishing boat in rough seas.
