SOS MEDITERRANEE 347d ago

"A Country in Focus" is a new series of reports. Since 2016, SOS MEDITERRANEE has rescued 41,383 people from nearly 50 countries. These reports offer an insight into the reasons why men, women and children had to flee their homes and help you better understand the hardships they endured along the migration route before being rescued by the Ocean Viking.  In 2024, the Ocean Viking rescued 1,948 people, a third of whom were from Syria. Some were children and women travelling alone, while others were families and elderly people. We collected many testimonies from Syrians who told us about the war, violence and hunger in their country, and the dangerous routes they had been forced to take to survive. Madj’s was rescued on the 18th of July 2024 by the team Of SOS MEDITERRANEE on board the Ocean Viking. Madj’s testimony as part of a series “A Country in Focus” highlights his journey from Syria to the Mediterranean, his struggles, resilience and hopes.
