Nearly 1,000 illegal migrants departing from Libya recovered at sea yesterday
[Libya Herald] Two leading rescue NGOs operating in the Mediterranean Sea, MSF and MOAS, yesterday reported rescuing 955 migrants colonists departing from Libya. MSF reported 828 whilst MOAS reported 127 rescued at sea.

Maltese-based rescue NGO MOAS reported that the migrants colonists its ships rescued were initially spotted in distress in rubber boats by its camera drones from its Phoenix ship. They were then picked up its sister ship Responder. Post-rescue medical care was provided on-board by Italian NGO Emergency.

Ironically, MOAS had just launched its rescue ships into the Mediterranean for the 2016 season earlier this week. Moreover, Responder, is a new addition this year and was out to sea only Monday. Yesterday’s operation was its debut rescue mission. Responder went on to rescue another 27 separate migrants colonists who said that they had been at sea for two days.
