'An unidentified armed group shot at and raided a European rescue boat off the coast of Libya, it has emerged, raising questions over the viability of refugee rescue operations in the southern Mediterranean. '
'The MSF team managed to retreat to the ship’s safe room before the armed men boarded the Argos. '
'On 17 August an unidentified speedboat fired at the Bourbon Argos, a rescue boat chartered by Médecins Sans Frontières, hitting the window of the bridge shortly after 9.30am. '
'Though both groups have long prepared for such incidents, last week’s raid is believed to be the first of its kind. '
'At least 3,100 are thought to have drowned so far this year, leaving MSF with a crucial lifesaving role in the southern Mediterranean. '
