MSF

MSF search and rescue boat patrols the water between Libya and Europe to rescue people who are so desperate that they will try to make the journey in unseaworthy and overcrowded vessels. These rescues all took place in April and May of 2022 and have been published in various stories by Al Jazeera and Palabra.

A dinghy packed full of people who left Libya in an attempt to reach safety, wait to be rescued by the MSF team.

Without enough space for everyone in the boat, men straddle the sponsons, each with a foot dangling in the water.
