🔴A few hours ago, 134 people have been rescued by our team from of an overcrowded double deck wooden boat, following a distress alert from @alarm_phone.
❗Many of the survivors now on board #GeoBarents are women and children, including two babies aged less than 3 years old.
⛔️🇪🇺 Penso che in pochi se ne siano accorti, ma gli arrivi irregolari di migranti dall'Africa nel 2023 sono stati i più alti di sempre.
Anche così, si è trattato dello 0,05% della popolazione europea, e dello 0,19% della popolazione di Italia e Spagna.
🆘~30 people in distress in the SAR zone of #Malta
We were called by 30 people in distress who had fled from #Sirte, #Libya 2 days ago. They said the waves and wind are strong and they’re almost out of fuel, some people are sick & they have no more food or water. Send rescue now!

Nonostante i "misteri" evocati, nei frame del video rilasciato da La Presse, non si vede alcun "telefonino" ma tanto di telecamera tenuta in mano da un agente col casco.
Il baule è determinante per capire la posizione di ripresa.

#EuronewsWitness takes you behind the scenes of a rescue operation, as we board an NGO boat for 11 days.
The ship, called Humanity 1, has one mission: to save people’s lives in the Mediterranean Sea.

⚠️Attempted murder today in the Mediterranean by the so-called Libyan coastguard! We cannot know if and how many people lost their lives. However, the survivors, who made it aboard the libyan patrol vessel are now illegally forced back to #Libya. [1/2]
🔴Happening now! #Seabird witnessed atrocities by so-called Libyan coastguard. Despite our several warnings, they crashed into & destroyed a dinghy in distress. ~50 ppl. in the water & pulled back to Libya. @MVLouiseMichel was on-site, searching for survivors & couldn't find any.
🔴Now in the Mediterranean: our ship #Aurora just rescued over 80 people from two boats in distress south of Lampedusa. After coordinating with 🇮🇹-authorities, we first rescued ~35 ppl. from a wooden boat while afterward embarking ~45 ppl. from a dangerously unstable iron boat.
A un anno dall'inizio della guerra in #Ucraina l'Italia aveva accolto oltre 173 mila rifugiati. Le persone sbarcate fino a oggi sono 127.207 ma si parla di #invasione#LampedusalCollasso https://t.co/6gSMORsEq6

‘Looters with flags’
Interesting analysis how xenophobia is used by rulers and politicians to gain popularity and distract attention from their own policy failures. Not only applied by Tunesia’s president, also by many European politicians.
