Farah, a Sudanese migrant, poses for a photograph onboard the rescue ship "Ocean Viking" as it sails toward the designated port of disembarkation in Savona, northwestern Italy, on January 3, 2026. Farah fled the war in Sudan carrying the hope of reaching Britain, where members of his family live, and of continuing his studies in information technology (IT) and become an engineer, a future he believes can still be rebuilt beyond displacement. On December 31, 2025, the migrants rescue ship "Ocean Viking" operated by the NGO SOS Mediterranee, rescued 33 migrants. They had been stranded on the oil tanker the 'Maridive 703' for 5 days in the joint search zone between Malta and Tunisia in international Mediterranean waters.
