BRUSSELS/NEW YORK, AUGUST 25, 2016 — On August 17, while conducting search and rescue operations off the Libyan coast, the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières(MSF) rescue vessel the Bourbon Argos was approached and attacked by a group of armed men onboard an unidentified speedboat, MSF said today, strongly condemning the attack.
The Bourbon Argos is one of three ships with MSF teams in the central Mediterranean whose sole mission is search and rescue for people fleeing armed conflict, disasters and extreme poverty, who lack safe and legal channels to flee.
