A woman carries her baby on her back prior to leaving rescue ship Aquarius as more than 380 migrants arrive in the port of Cagliari, Sardinia, on May 26, two days after being rescued near the Libyan coast.

The ship patrols the Mediterranean, rescuing migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe aboard rubber rafts or old fishing boats.
