11-Year-Old Sole Survivor Rescued from Italian Shipwreck

An 11-year-old girl from Sierra Leone was rescued as the sole survivor of a shipwreck off Italy's Lampedusa island, where a boat carrying 45 people sank in a storm. She survived three days at sea with improvised life rings and a life jacket, despite having no food or water. The rescue by Germany's CompassCollective highlights the ongoing migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, where dangerous crossings continue to claim lives. Calls for safer migration routes and better asylum access in Europe have been renewed.
