Watch: Onboard a refugee rescue ship

Newsbeat reporter Ben Mundy joins a ship rescuing refugees and migrants making the journey from Africa to Europe.

Dignity I is owned and operated by international aid charity Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders.

Whilst on board we saw 239 people rescued and transferred to Italy, and heard some of their stories along the way.
