The image of Josefa has been around the world: with big eyes, she looks at her rescuers, who shoot her in dinghy. Fear and horror are reflected in the face of the exhausted woman. Clinging to a piece of wood, she fought for hours in the Mediterranean for her life. About 150 kilometers off the Libyan coast. The remains of a rubber boat and two bodies of African migrants drift into the water.

Now the rescue ship with the woman rescued on board and the deceased wife and child arrived in Mallorca. According to Oscar Camps, the founder of the Spanish non-governmental organization Proactiva Open Arms, Oscar Camps, the "Open Arms" arrived at the port of Palma after four days of travel on Saturday

. Rome, however, wanted to occupy only the survivors, not the dead of the crossing of the Mediterranean. Proactiva then turned to Spain

. The Cameroonian woman, refugee off the coast of Libya, was to be examined medically and psychologically and taken on board the ship, as reported by the regional authorities of the Balearic Islands. Proactiva is convinced that the Libyan Coast Guard left the three refugees behind after being rescued from the sea for refusing to be sent back to Libya.
