At the edge of the makeshift boat, these refugees, in large numbers, tried to leave the coast of Egypt to join a side in a European country. The alarm was raised by an Egyptian NGO that takes care of refugees: AMERA.
Already, we deplore two dead including a woman. Throughout the afternoon, the NGOInternational mobilized to alert the navy of any country to bring assistance to theseAfrican.
