The Geo Barents search-and-rescue
ship operated by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) docked in the
southern port of Salerno on Saturday with 99 migrants it rescued
in two operations off the coast of Libya, including 53 minors.
The 41 boys and 12 girls included 37 unaccompanied minors.
Many were small children and some had trouble walking down the
steps to the quay.
The migrants, who also included 34 men and 12 women, mostly came
from Ivory Coast, Syria, Somalia, Pakistan, Guinea and Burkina
Faso.
