INTERNATIONAL charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is to resume efforts to save the lives of refugees in distress in the central Mediterranean on board a new rescue ship.
MSF announced today that it was teaming up with German refugee rescuers Sea Watch to help in operations by the refugee rescue NGO’s new ship the Sea Watch 4, which is currently docked in Spain and scheduled to return to the Mediterranean later this month.
“No human being should be left to drown, to sink beneath the waves,” said MSF director of operations Oliver Behn.
