Following the rescue operation coordinated by the Italian Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC), the Geo Barents is navigating towards Bari, the place of safety assigned by the Italian authorities, where the 606 survivors will disembark. Meanwhile, the survivors are slowly recovering from five days at sea in difficult conditions. Access to basic services such as food and water, toilets and showers, clean clothes and hygiene kits, is essential to help them recover and regain their dignity.
