MOAS | 09.2017
Following recent developments in the Central Mediterranean, MOAS has taken the decision to strategically redeploy its operations to South East Asia.
MOAS was founded in 2014 as the first search and rescue operation of its kind, determined to mitigate the loss of human life on deadly maritime migration routes.
On the 30th August 2014, the MOAS crew conducted its first rescue. Three years later, MOAS has rescued and assisted over 40,000 children, women and men fleeing violence, poverty and persecution, and its efforts to safeguard the most vulnerable people have been recognised most recently by the Atlantic Council.
