A lifeboat crewmember revealed he and fellow volunteers live in constant fear for finding 'tens of bodies' floating in the sea on a call out.
After wrapping them in blankets they reassure the sobbing migrants that they are safe, aboard a lifeboat, and about to be taken back to shore.AdvertisementAll those pulled from the sea struggle to retain consciousness.Fortunately, all those rescued by the crew on this occasion survived.
He said:"Dinghies are always packed the same way - women and children huddled on the thin plywood floor, men on the outside, seated on the inflated hull. "Floating on top of this highly inflammable, rank cocktail - among the plastic bags and spoiled belongings - you might also see a foot pump and a pile of floppy bicycle inner tubes in case the boat sinks."
