How Mediterranean fisherman are helping African migrants

Clip: 7/25/2015 | 8m 24s

Lisa Desai reports on how Mediterranean fisherman impact the African migration.

As the civil war worsens, more migrants are being smuggled off the shores of Libya and end up stranded in neighboring Tunisian waters, leaving it up to those working at sea to rescue them. Already this year, Tunisian fisherman and coast guards have saved more than 800 migrants, and their work continues as the region's mass exodus persists. Lisa Desai reports.
