A Northern Irish charity is heading back to sea in late January to carry out search and rescue operations in the Central Mediterranean.
Refugee Rescue, set up by Belfast musician Joby Fox, is resuming its life-saving operations having gained an international reputation for working tirelessly saving the lives of thousands of people off the Greek island of Lesbos.
Last year Refugee Rescue was involved in saving almost 1,000 migrants. Since 2015 they have rescued over 16,000 people including families and children. They are now fundraising for essential maintenance and repairs ahead of their next mission.
