A Spanish NGO Open Arms has rescued 47 migrants in the nick of time as the boat they were crammed into sank in the Mediterranean Sea.
The dramatic rescue, carried out by Open Arms, took place halfway between Tunisia and the Italian island of Lampedusa on 24th April around 3pm.
A pregnant woman, a child, and a baby are among the survivors.
The rescued baby, Mohamed, was screaming and shaking from the cold when rescued, local media reported.
The others were suffering from numb limbs and symptoms of hypothermia when pulled aboard the Astral.

The British-flagged Astral sailboat is not authorised to take survivors on board and take them to port.
Its job is to locate drifting boats, inform the Coast Guard of the passengers' situation, provide the passengers with life jackets and water, check their condition, and wait with them until a rescue ship comes to their aid.
It can only embark them in cases where the lives of the migrants are in danger, which is what happened on this occasion.
