Malta Today: "NGOs demand humanitarian corridor, lay blame at the feet of Fortress Europe"

„Another NGO, the Watch The Med Alarm Phone, said it was the European Union that was responsible for the deaths of migrants in the last 25 years.
“Fortress Europe has caused ten thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean Sea in the last 25 years.
“Those responsible are politicians and police forces that have created, through the Schengen Regime, the general visa-duty and the organised manhunt of refugees and migrants without visa“

🆘 45 people on their way to #Crete calling for help. The group reports that water is coming into the boat. We urged #JRCC Cairo and @HCoastGuard repeatedly to launch a rescue operation, but so far nobody arrived. The people are desperate and exhausted. Rescue is needed NOW!

A relative informed us that his brother was forced back to #Libya by Libyan military. MRCC Rome told us that RCC #Malta was in charge of this case. The boat was far north in Maltese SAR - we condemn this violent #Pushback and demand answers!
