Eyewitnesses said several ambulances and many police were on the site.<br \/>\nThe migrants could be seen huddled in blankets. Some were carried away on stretchers. Rescue officials said one of the arrivals was in poor medical condition.<br \/>\nMigrant arrivals on small boats in Malta have become relatively rare, with just over 200 coming in 2024 compared to more than 2,000 in 2020. Most leave from Libya, heading for Italy.<br \/>\nDuring a meeting in Malta on November 29, home affairs ministers from Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain and Malta declared that strengthening relations with countries of origin and transit was \u201ckey\u201d to addressing irregular migration.<br \/>\nMaltese Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri said during the meeting: \u201cOur position is to save people. If you deserve asylum, you will get it. If not, then you will be sent back.\u201d<br \/>\nMost of Malta\u2019s migrant arrivals now come to the island on flights from Italy, overstay and work irregularly.<br \/>\nMalta has been working with Libya to prevent migrant departures and has provided training for its coast guard. Camilleri told the ministers in November that every sea voyage taken by irregular asylum seekers carried a risk of death, thus, \u201cby working with Libya and preventing crossings, we are also saving lives.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEurope must be the one to decide who comes in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VALLETTA Some 60 African migrants were brought to Malta on Friday after their boat capsized close to the Mediterranean island, one of the biggest groups to arrive in recent years.
