Mediterranean sea, 40 miles off the Libyan coast - This photo portrays the moment rescuers and refugees frantically transfer an unconscious 9-months pregnant Eritrean woman from an overcrowded and leaky smugglers' boat to a rescue vessel. The 12-meters boat on which refugees were traveling carried over 700 people. The hold was filled with engine fumes and spilled fuel, constituting, together with the heat, a deadly combination for those forced to escape war and violence in these conditions. Once on board the rescue vessel, the woman received medical help. Unlike thousands of other people attempting the same crossing, she and her baby survived the journey at sea. The expressions of the various people portrayed in this photo highlight the drama and tension of this specific moment, where life and death are still divided by a thin line.
