Once upon a time, scientists discovered insulin and won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. They chose to sell the rights to the medicine for just $1, to make insulin accessible to everyone in need.

#OceanViking rescued 162 people, incl. 50 kids & 3 pregnant women, over the weekend. Their stories have shocked the crew. This is why the UK gov & EU must:
➡️Stop supporting returns to Libya
➡️Provide search & rescue in the Mediterranean
➡️Increase their resettlement commitments
