MOAS Photo Stories: Across Generations
In this blog series, we have pulled together four photo stories that reflect different aspects of our search and rescue missions. For this story, we have collected images of families and individuals who are seeking safety across generations. Over the course of our missions, our crews have rescued both the very young and the very old, all of whom are looking for a place where they can live in safety and with hope.
