AN ACTIVIST-RUN rescue ship carrying over 390 survivors in the central Mediterranean is running out of water, food, medical supplies and baby milk powder, the crew warned today after their 16th call to the European maritime authorities went unanswered.

The situation aboard the Humanity 1 — now carrying 398 rescued and 28 crew members — is increasingly critical, warned a spokeswoman from the deck of the ship in a video message today.

“We will run out of water on Wednesday, even though we have already stopped laundry and showering three days ago,” she said.
