This photo taken on March 13, 2024 and handout on March 14, 2024 by international humanitarian organization SOS Mediterranee, shows a rescuing operation of migrants by the Ocean Viking rescue vessel in the Libyan search and rescue region in international waters. The Ocean Viking migrant rescue vessel chartered by SOS Mediterranee rescued 25 people off the coast of Libya on March 13, 2024, who had been in "an inflatable boat adrift" for "around a week", the NGO said in a press release. "Those rescued report that many people have died and are now missing", said SOS Mediterranee.
