Thirteen migrants rescued from boat and buoy off Belgian coast

Rescuers saved 13 migrants off the French-Belgian coast on Monday.

Two were in a small boat near Ostend, while 11 were holding on to a large buoy in French waters.

A helicopter and four rescue boats helped locate them after authorities received a distress call at about 5:40 p.m.

One of the two people in the boat showed signs of hypothermia, and it is unclear whether anyone else was injured.

It was the second day in a row that a migrant boat was spotted off the Belgian coast.

The previous day, nearly 30 people were taken off a boat and brought to Dunkirk after spending hours at sea; many were exhausted and cold.
