Title: New Year's Meal at Sea After a Week on a Makeshift Boat

**Article:** A group of shipwreck survivors celebrated the New Year with a hot meal aboard a rescue ship. They had just spent a week on a dangerous boat crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The survivors were rescued by the charity SOS Méditerranée. Its ship, the Ocean Viking, found them after they left Libya on a poorly constructed vessel. The hot meal provided a moment of calm. However, the rescue comes as threats to such operations increase. Libya's coast guard has declared an exclusive search and rescue zone. It now orders charity ships to leave certain areas. Despite this, the Ocean Viking has resumed its missions. The group continues to patrol the central Mediterranean. This route is one of the world's deadliest for migrants and refugees.
