A migrant onboard the rescue vessel Aquarius observes a navy ship patrolling the Mediterranean Sea, on September 11, 2016. He was rescued hours before from a boat in distress adrift at sea by the Aquarius team. Fleeing from wars, conflicts, famine, humanitarian crisis and economical distress in their own countries, and escaping the horror and the abuses reported in Libya, since early 2015 hundreds of thousands of migrants attempted to reach Europe by any possible mean. Tragedy after tragedy, many died trying to cross the Mediterranean, and numerous refugee camps arose again in the heart of Europe. It is the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
