More than 2,000 migrants rescued in dramatic day in Mediterranean<\/h1>\n

More than 2,000 migrants trying to reach Europe were plucked from the Mediterranean on Friday in a series of dramatic rescues and one person was found dead, officials and witnesses said.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

An Italian coast guard spokesman said 19 rescue operations by the coast guard or ships operated by non-governmental organisations had saved a total of 2,074 migrants on 16 rubber dinghies and three small wooden boats.<\/p>\n

The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said in a tweet that one teenager was found dead in a rubber boat whose passengers were rescued by its ship Aquarius.<\/p>\n

“The sea continues to be a graveyard,” MSF said in a Tweet.<\/p>\n

The coast guard spokesman confirmed that one person had died but gave no details.<\/p>\n

MSF said two of their ships, Aquarius and Prudence, had rescued about 1,000 people in nine boats.<\/p>\n

Desperate refugees struggled to stay afloat after they slid off their rubber boat during a rescue operation by the Phoenix, a ship of the rescue group Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS).<\/p>\n

Video footage showed rescuers jumping into the water off the coast of Libya to help them.<\/p>\n

“In 19 years of covering the migration story, I have never experienced anything like today,” said Reuters photographer Darrin Zammit Lupi, who was aboard the Phoenix.<\/p>\n

In one operation, the Phoenix rescued 134 people, all from sub-Saharan counties, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those rescued by the MOAS and MSF ships were transferred to Italian coast guard ships, which had rescued other migrants, to be taken to Italian ports.<\/p>\n

According to the International Organisation for Migration, nearly 32,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea so far this year. More than 650 have died or are missing.<\/p>\n
