Migrants rescued from the Mediterranean Sea off the Libyan coast have shared their ordeal while being cared for on board a ship run by Doctors Without Borders (MSF), an international humanitarian organization. The crew of the Geo Barents ship performed two separate rescue operations on Friday saving 258 people. Various United Nations human rights reports have documented widespread and systematic human rights violations and abuses against migrants in Libya. Italian authorities assigned the port of Salerno to the Geo Barents to disembark the refugees and migrants, just a few minutes after the operation. During this mission Geo Barents rescued 38 women, 56 minors, 220 men, mainly Syrian and Egyptian.
