In Libya, African and Asian migrants have to flee the fighting.
Nearly 1.200 people boarded in the boat and many of them needed medice treatment.

Among wars and conflicts that take place at all over the world, I had chosen Libya´s conflict, where is taking place a social conflict created by the Libyan rebels, exactly in Brega.

The main aim of this conflict is to get back the oil city of east Brega, so they are moving out to people who are pro-Gadafi.
