Fardi stood on the railings that had been set up and tried to hug his brother Mohammed who was rescued from the wreckage.

With tears in their eyes the two brothers held each other’s faces and embraced.

Fardi, a Syrian refugee, came from the Netherlands to search for and eventually find his 18-year-old brother Mohammed who was aboard the sinking fishing vessel.

Mohammed had started from Libya and his final destination was Italy. He never got there, but he was saved.
