Some survivors had burns caused by fuel; some said they were tortured in Libya and show visible signs of it. Some survivors were suffering from pulmonary infections. The NGO had asked the Italian authorities to assign them a closer port, citing the mental and physical health of the survivors on board the 'Humanity 1' and worsening weather conditions, but their request had not been granted.
