MSF announces the rescue of 599 migrants in Mediterranean waters in one of the biggest rescues of the year

MADRID, 27 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The rescue ship 'Geo Barents' of the NGO Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has announced this Saturday one of the most numerous rescues of the year in Mediterranean waters by rescuing, in a single operation, 599 passengers from a large barge in danger .

The procedure, which has lasted for three hours, began after MSF received a notice from the Italian Maritime Rescue Coordination Center to request assistance in rescuing the passengers from the barge, which is in danger of capsizing.

The crew of the 'Geo Barents' has finished bringing the survivors to safety, including women and children, and has received authorization for a safe port in Bari (Italy) 40 hours away from the rescue area, as reported by MSF in your Twitter account.
