An African would-be immigrant slumps against a railing as she disembarks from an Armed Forces of Malta patrol vessel at its base in Valletta's Marsamxett Harbour September 2, 2009. The group of 84 immigrants, all claiming to be from Somalia, were rescued 57 nautical miles (65 miles/105 km) south of Malta when their dinghy started taking in water, while on their way to reach European soil from Africa.
