Refugee crisis in the Mediterranean: the rescue ship saving lives at sea

The Migrants Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) is a privately funded search-and-rescue vessel, was founded in 2013 and is made up of international humanitarian workers, security professionals, medical staff and maritime officers.

The Guardian spent five days with MOAS meeting its crew as they search for and save migrants stranded at sea. During the first six months of 2015, an estimated 137,000 migrants tried to cross the Mediterranean sea - the majority fleeing war, conflict or persecution.
