MEDITERRANEAN SEA }

I spend 4 months on a search and rescue mission in the Mediterranean Sea with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders. Every year, thousands of people fleeing violence, insecurity or persecution at home attempt a treacherous journey across the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe. I’ve been reporting from two different search and rescue boats that MSF has been operating between southern Europe and the north coast of Libya.
