There are now 162 rescued people on board, including:
- 50 children (under 18s) of whom 41 are unaccompanied, travelling without a parent or guardian
- 26 women of whom 3 are pregnant and 20 are travelling on their own.
- They are from 17 countries: Algeria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Egypt, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bisseau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan and Syria
The rescued people’s medical condition is generally good. Some had mild hypothermia after being at sea for so long, and there were some cases of fuel intoxication, but otherwise there were no major medical issues.
The Ocean Viking is now heading north to find some shelter in the face of worsening weather conditions.
