Nigerian woman gives birth on board rescued ship

A Nigerian woman has given birth to a boy on board a
rescued ship in the Mediterranean after being plucked
from an overcrowded rubber dinghy, the BBC reported
yesterday.
Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said
because the baby was born in international waters,
his nationality was still under debate.
A midwife on board the ship MV Aquarius described
the birth as “normal… in dangerously abnormal
conditions”.
The MSF said the baby’s parents, Otas and Faith
Ogunbor, named him Newman Otas. They had been
making the perilous crossing with their two other
children, aged seven and five, and were rescued just
24 hours before the baby was born.
Thousands of refugees and migrants risk the
dangerous crossing from Libya to Europe in search of
a better life.
Last year, more than 3,700 people are believed to have
died attempting the journey.
MSF communications officer Alva White reported the
baby’s birth in a series of tweets yesterday from the
Aquarius – a search and rescue vessel – run by the
group SOS Mediterranee in partnership with MSF.
