We could reach the group again. They are in urgent distress and are calling for help. We talked to authorities in #Egypt and #Greece on the phone - both refuse to help. Stop playing with people's lives and launch a rescue operation NOW!

Italy forces us to sail for 14,5 more hours?! This morning, our Aurora crew rescued 17 people who reported being at sea for more than 20 hours. They are exhausted, seasick and dehydrated - they need a port of safety now!

“I am just one of many...” says Yonas, “but there are still many friends left behind,” he adds. “No one leaves their country just like that... There is a reason. Our reason is war.” Yonas is one of the people rescued by MSF Oyvon crew last Sunday, Oct 4.

A sad reminder that this Labour govt is still pursuing an agenda to slash refugee rights -allow use of force on families & children -charge recognised refugees £10k before they can settle -use AI to “determine” age among young ppl & kids Mahmood’s asylum bill must be stopped.

Labour voters have turned on Shabana Mahmood over migration, a major new poll shows. Almost half of 2024 Labour voters are dissatisfied with the Government’s handling of immigration and asylum, according to a YouGov survey. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

12 hours. That's how long the Italian authorities knew about this boat before our crew reached the survivors. 12 hours in which people died. 6 people, including children, are still missing. What happened in that time? 👇
Sea-Watch International@seawatch_intlSep 29
🔴 At least 2 people are dead, including a child. 28 survived because our Aurora crew rescued them from a sinking dinghy and the Hasdrubal gas platform in the morning of 29.09. Our anger and grief are almost impossible to put into words. People have died again. The EU is guilty.

Looks like there won't be a new episode this month 🫤 BUT, we do have something... ‘special’ in the works to hopefully make up for it. Keep an eye on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/channel/UCyqi-wJ… OH, and I'll be at the London Anarchist Bookfair this Saturday. See you there

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is slashing its budget by 16 percent and cutting staff posts by 3,500 people. The cuts come at a time when global displacement is projected to reach an all-time high of over 100 million people forced to flee. infomigrants.net/en/post/734…
