In a recent account from the Mediterranean, a journalist documents their time aboard the Geo Barents, a humanitarian ship operated by Doctors Without Borders. Over ten days, the crew rescued 258 migrants, including families and individuals fleeing Libya. The work is described as both exhausting and traumatizing, yet moments of beauty, such as dolphins swimming alongside the ship, offer solace to the rescuers. The crew often finds respite on the helipad, engaging in jogging and yoga to cope with the emotional toll of their mission. This experience underscores the persistent beauty of life amidst the challenges faced by migrants and rescuers alike.
