In mid-November 1920, 149 ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet left the ports of Crimea in Turkey. They were 145 693 people, including 7000 wounded and sick. After the 1200-mile crossing in December 1920, 34 ships arrived at the final berth at the port of Bizerte (Tunisia). They were about 5000 people. The quality of medical assistance to refugees in the prevailing conditions is considered satisfactory.
