Marseille: Three NGOs said on Sunday that they rescued more than 400 people trying to cross the Mediterranean overnight after their boat ran into trouble. The NGOs -- SOS Mediterranee, Sea-Watch and ResQship -- said that their rescue ships, the Ocean Viking, Sea-Watch 3 and Nadir, had picked up the migrants after their "large wooden boat" had begun to take on water.
