In Libya, the ARTE Reportage team was able to board one of the rare boats to set sail with supplies for Misrata. The city of Misrata, which is being held by the rebels, is located at just two hundred kilometres from Tripoli.

For 45 days, Misrata was cut off from the world, surrounded by Colonel Gaddafi's forces. The only way to break the blockade imposed by the loyalist forces was to take the sea route. From Benghazi, fishing boats crossed the Gulf of Sidra, laden with food supplies, and especially arms - essential cargoes for the city's resistance.
