At the first light on August 23, the Sea-Watch 4 morning look out spotted a small black vessel in international waters, some 31 nautical miles from the coast of Libya. The overcrowded and unseaworthy rubber boat carried 60 men and women, as well as 9 children and 28 unaccompanied minors. Securing these lives at risk at sea, rescue crew distributed life vests, before bringing everyone safely on board. All survivors were triaged by MSF medics and assisted by the Sea-Watch protection team upon embarkation. The operation was complete at 09:30am ship time and the Sea-Watch 4 resumed patrolling at the deadliest border in the world.
