Refugee rescuers save over 20 children in the central Mediterranean
		EU states call for Syria to be reclassified as a safe country
	 
			ACTIVISTS saved the lives of more than 20 children from an overcrowded rubber boat in distress in the central Mediterranean Sea on Thursday night.
The Humanity 1 rescue ship found the rubber boat adrift in international waters after the activist-run distress hotline organisation Alarm Phone alerted them to the distress case in the morning.
The ship’s crew had already rescued 28 people from a small wooden boat in the same area earlier that day.
