Refugees and migrants rescued off Libyan coast

With more than 300 refugees and migrants on board, Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms arrived at the Port of Pozzallo in Italy today after several days at sea.

Those rescued were trying to leave the Libyan coast and reach European soil aboard overcrowded wooden and rubber boats.

Spanish photojournalist Santi Palacios was aboard the rescue vessel and below are a selection of his photos.
