Sole survivor of doomed boat says ships 'ran away' as migrants starved to death

The sole survivor of a doomed attempt by 15 migrants to cross the Mediterranean and reach Europe has told how other boats sailed past him.

Mohammed Adam Oga said their pleas for rescue were ignored and everyone else on his small inflatable died in the blazing sun. "We ran out of fuel and the battery ran out on the GPS device. We were on the sea for 11 days and we ran out of food," he said from his hospital bed in Malta.The other people on the tiny boat started to die from the fifth day"The first person died on the fifth day and then they continued to die on the sixth, seventh and so on."The Ethiopian added:"The pregnant woman survived until the tenth day, but she died the day before they saved me.

Still distressed, he said:"[Passing boats] were very very close to us, they could see us from the windows, but when they saw us they ran away."

Who cares 👍

Well he still needs sending back because he’s an illegal immigrant so others died, but don’t get on the boats

If only this could happen to all of them...

Man kunne jo osse be folk om at kæmpe mod det de flygter for istedetfor. Det ville give meget meget bedre mening for livet og for planeten og i den sidste ende jo selvfølgelig også for menneskehed Det her har intet med menneskehed at gøre Men er ren kapital kulturs ofrer selvs🆔

Should have stayed home

The deaths can be laid at the feet of NGOs and open border loons. Many more will die before sanity is restored.

I couldn't afford his boat. And paying hefty taxes! How did he?

That should tell them something.

To all the stupid Brits on here with their lack of empathy... I hope a day comes where u are so desperate to leave ur home country you take on a perilous journey where death is the most likely outcome. Half you idiots are claiming benefits in one form or the other.

Safer in your own country

So.....

No human being should have to suffer like this .. in this day and age ...

Wilson.... Wilson!.....

Yeah good, no help. If countries are complaining about illegal immigrants entering, then leave them.

It being nasty here at all here but I generally though that picture was Darren Bent

Multi is responsible. 🤬

This is inhumane to sail!past suffering starving people.evil.

They don't have that in them!

Why should they help them? He should of got off the boat near ibiza he could be selling sunglasses and drugs now

Well, all immigrants have a choice of travelling to Europe ... A) legal & safe way or B) illegal & life threatening way. He chose the latter and us very fortunate he survived. Still illegal immigrant though.

Really don't care.

Illegal immigrants,not migrants.

Why should ppl help, sorry but u put urself in that position! Maybe if we stopped helping they would stop trying. Drop leaflets saying (pulling any help there is a 90% chance u will die trying, DON’T risk ur kids lives, and if u make it we will turn u around for the trip back) !!

In case anybody's under the impression that the scum posting in this feed with Union Jacks next to their avatars, snarlingly denigrating the fate of these refugees, represent the U.K, they don't. They represent the vermin which crawl in the gutters of Britain. Carry on.

How many legal immigrants have died in the journey?

All those doctors dentists engineers nurses surgeons teachers hand car washers lost at sea RIP

They prob thought they were pirates the people in other boats.

Did he eat the dead ones?

Play silly games win silly prizes

Illegal

Illegal immigrant not migrant.

Heartbreaking, hopefully the next chapter in his life will be much, much more prosperous.

But how did he survive and who eventually rescued him

Please be very very well prepared before attempting a crossing! Life is valuable!

Shocking

As you can see Sky News by the responses nobody's buying what you're selling life's hard enough we don't need any more help making it harder.

Not their job to recue inexperienced sailors.

I hope he's supported after all this. It's a dreadful thing to go through.

Return to sender.

Good and the morning bastard should be gratefully he got picked up..

Get the violins out.Why make the trek when you know you could die?There are other countries to go to by walking or any other transport.
