The humanitarian rescue ship AitaMari found the four boats near Mallorca this Friday, two of them abandoned and rescued by the Civil Guard 16 a few hours after the mission . 

The other two ships had migrants , one carrying 15 people , including five children and three women, and 30 people, including seven minors. From Algeria, most of the passengers are from sub-Saharan Africa .

Father Marihas provided humanitarianaid to migrants: water, energy bars and life jackets. At the moment, Father Mariis standing nextto migrants' boats until the authorities rescue these people.

The ship, managed by the NGO Maritime Humanitarian Rescue, sailed on Thursday night from Castello to Syracuse in the central Mediterranean.

The organisation has denounced that this new mission coincides with theentry into force of the New European Treaty on Migration and Asylum , a law which, they have criticised, 'instead of offering dignified solutions, institutionalises express returns, systematic detention and the expulsion of migratory control to countries that systematically violate human rights'.

In this context, the captain of the ship Aita Mari has stressed the urgency of being in the central Mediterranean, especially in the recent deaths of dozens of people off the coast of Lampedusa, and has denounced that the Libyan Coast Guard continues to intercept ships to return migrants to Libya, where they are tortured and extorted.
