Nigerian Lampedusa refugees, rescued at sea

Here are the faces of seven Nigerians who risked all to cross to Italy from Libya about two weeks ago. They had boarded a crowded boat from Libya, to make the dangerous journey via the Mediterranean Sea to the island of Lampedusa, Italy. In one of such journeys, two weeks ago, no fewer than 900 migrants died in a shipwreck at sea. But these Nigerians, rescued by Italian navy, survived.
