A mother from Libya has given birth to a baby boy on the high seas this morning, on board a migrant rescue vessel operated by the charity, Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).

MSF says the boy’s mother, Faith, was part of a large group of migrants fleeing Libya. She was already having contractions when she stepped aboard an overcrowded rubber dinghy Sunday along with her husband and two other sons.

MSF was able to rescue all those aboard the watercraft and bring them aboard their ship, the Aquarius. Faith’s baby entered this world not long after.

“A very normal birth in dangerously abnormal conditions," MSF tweeted.

Faith has decided to name her boy, Newman Otas. The charity notes that Newman was born in international waters, “so his nationality is still under discussion.”

He and his mother are doing well, they tweeted.

Medecins Sans Frontieres operates their three rescue ships in the Mediterranean, helping to pick up some of the thousands of migrants attempting the dangerous journey across the waters.

MSF says that since April, they have used their vessels to pull more than 3,300 people from dinghies, rafts and boats. Those they rescue are taken to reception centres in Sicily, Italy, or transferred to Italian coast guard vessels.

The United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, estimates that more than 289,000 people have attempted to cross the Mediterranean by boat in 2016.
