Photo: Nigerian Woman Amongst Rescued Immigrants Gives Birth To Baby Girl

Over the weekend, about 7,000 illegal immigrants were rescued from some boats sailing into Italy. One of the migrants was a pregnant Nigerian woman. The woman went into labour while being rescued from a boat and gave birth to a baby girl. The baby has been named Francesca Marina as a tribute to the Italian Navy (Marina Militare). 

Crew from the Italian navy ship Bettica found the Nigerian woman in labour on a boat – one of 34 vessels intercepted over the weekend. This photo above released by the Italian navy shows the baby girl sleeping in a makeshift cradle decorated with a pink bow.
