<p>The babies were only five days old when their mother boarded a boat with them in Libya, said Antonia Zemp, a medical coordinator with Doctors Without Borders, which took part in the rescue on Monday.</p>
<p>They were born at least a month early and one suffered from hypothermia, hypoglycemia and difficulties eating, said Ms Zemp.</p>
<p>The infants were evacuated to the hospital and put in intensive care, said the organisation.</p>
<p>The mother, Tesfamamrim Merhawit, 26, was also recovering in the Palermo hospital.</p>
<p>The baby boys were bundled in towels with a white bonnet covering the head of one.<br />
They were rescued by the aid group Proactivia Open Arms off Libya and handed to a larger rescue ship belonging to Doctors Without Borders.</p>
<p>They were evacuated first to Lampedusa by boat and by helicopter from there to Palermo.<br />
The baby who was vomiting had hypothermia and was non-responsive.</p>
