According to AfricaNews the German charity SOS Humanity, which operates the rescue ship Humanity 1, has accused the Libyan coast guard of using violence and firing live bullets into the water during its "life-threatening intervention" on Saturday.
The charity said that many migrants who were aboard three unseaworthy boats bound for Europe were forced to jump into the water.

At least one migrant drowned, it added.
