STORYLINE:
Around 60 migrants were taken to Malta Monday evening after being rescued from the rough sea as they attempted to cross to Europe from Libya.
Two groups of people were saved by merchant vessels in Malta's search and rescue zone. The rescue was carried out on the instructions of the Maltese authorities after the migrants reported being in distress.
The two groups were brought to Marsaxlokk, south of the island, by the Armed Forces of Malta.
They were given foil blankets to prevent hypothermia, after spending several days at sea. The wind had picked up over the weekend, making their voyage especially difficult.
The migrants, many of whom were barefoot, were taken to Detention Services vans on arrival. Their nationalities are not yet known.
