76 rescued migrants brought to Malta, as Italy rescues 180 more (Times of Malta, link):
"The rescue came as an NGO accused Malta's AFM of ignoring a plea for help.
NGO Alarm Phone claimed in a tweet that it had informed the Maltese authorities on Monday night about the boat carrying around 75 migrants, but received no response.
The AFM later confirmed that it had rescued 76 people at sea but did not provide any further details."
