Hospital treats premature twins rescued from boat off Libya

Two Eritrean babies born prematurely on the migrant voyage from Africa to Europe are being treated at a hospital in Palermo, Sicily after being rescued at sea with thousands of other migrants.

The babies were only five days old when their mother boarded a boat with them in Libya, said Antonia Zemp, a medical coordinator with Doctors Without Borders, which took part in the rescue on Monday.
