The Italian coast guard says 6,055 migrants have been rescued in one day in the Mediterranean off Libya. Nine bodies were recovered.
The coast guard said it coordinated a total of 39 rescues Monday in the sea about 30 miles north of Tripoli. Smugglers took advantage of the first day of calm seas after days of rough waters to launch vessels crowded with migrants who pay them in hopes of reaching European shores.
Most of the vessels were rubber dinghies, but there were also two rafts.
Doctors Without Borders said the dead included a 23-year-old pregnant woman.
Italian coast guard and navy ships, as well as vessels in European Frontex sea patrols and several humanitarian organizations, participated in the rescues.
Two migrants needing medical care were flown to Sicily's Lampedusa island.

Put them back in Libya
6,000 too many.
Migration means you go back and forth between places.
this word migrant is being badly abused.
Immediately
This was all created by Obama and Clinton’s intervention into Libya and the killing of Qaddafi. Much of the Muslim invasion was caused by the US actions to depose secular dictators who kept the Islamists in check.
And just why were these savages not immediately deposited on Lembretta, a tiny island off Tunisia??
Italy has a death wish.
So they are picking these scumbags up just a few miles off the coast of Libya, and ferrying them the rest of the way to Europe?
Why?
Qadaffi tried to warn them this would happen.
Tomorrow it will be 12000...
This is a perfect example of “no act of kindness goes unpunished”.
I’m beginning to worry about impact on the quality of seafood from the Mediterranean. If you eat anchovies, sardines, etc. I don’t want the variety that has been feeding on African carcasses.
Let ‘em drown.
