Additional Information / Shotlist The MV Aquarius, a search and rescue boat run in partnership between Médecins Sans Frontières and SOS MEDITERRANEE, continues to patrol international waters off the coast of Libya in search of boats in distress. As winter approaches, night rescues are becoming more common and are accompanied by a heightened sense of dread. In the darkness, it is difficult to find boats in distress and to identify the people that need immediate medical attention.
