The 11-year-old girl from Sierra Leone, after surviving a harrowing shipwreck at sea, is believed to be the sole survivor from a boat carrying 45 people.
Matthias Wiedenlubbert, skipper of the Trotamar III rescue boat, described the miraculous moment when the crew heard the child's cries despite the roar of the engine.
Rescuers reported that the girl endured days without food or water, suffering from hypothermia, yet remained responsive and aware during her rescue.
The incident highlights the perilous conditions faced by migrants, with reports indicating that over 24,300 people have disappeared or perished in similar maritime tragedies.
