Migrants are rescued by a MSF (Medecins Sans Frontiers) rescue team boat, after leaving Libya trying to reach European soil, in the Mediterranean Sea, Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.
DOCTORS Without Borders rescue ship the Geo Barents saved 258 refugees in two operations in the Mediterranean today.
The refugees, mainly Egyptians and Syrians, were en route to Italy as European leaders clashed over proposed reforms to the EU’s asylum process.
The first rescue was of a wooden boat with “an engine but no system of navigation” just 23 feet long but carrying 162 people, including 29 children.
