Keminni Amanor

   A 6-month-old baby is one of six migrants who died after the boat they
   were traveling in deflated and sank in the Mediterranean Sea, the
   Spanish rescue charity Proactiva Open Arms said Thursday.

   The baby, named Joseph, was from Guinea and was making the dangerous
   journey to Europe from Libya with his mother, the nongovernmental
   organization said.
