Migrations: l’ONU prolonge l’autorisation d’inspections de navires suspects de Libye rfi.my/6dKl.t

SOSMedIntl These past 2 weeks in the #CentralMediterranean, over 20 people reportedly lost their lives, hundreds were intercepted & forcibly returned to #Libya and more than 300 rescued people faced stand-offs at sea. Read our 2nd "Eyes on the Central Med" here 👇 https://t.co/08NZsnyqTa

SOSMedIntl Boat capsized off Libya last night, 24 people presumed dead. “This new tragedy signals yet again the need for increased search and rescue capacity in the Mediterranean. Instead, we are seeing restrictions on NGOs and long, unnecessary stand-offs,” @msehlisafa of @UNmigration. https://t.co/3tPGGM2rnV

InfoMigrants At least three people drowned (one woman, two children) and 56 were rescued when a migrant boat capsized due to heavy winds off the island of #Crete late on Monday, the Greek coast guard said. https://t.co/J9r35xVVpX

alarm_phone At 17:44h CEST, the people on board tell us: “We do not have enough energy left to take the water out of the boat. Our phone battery will die soon.” RCC Malta refuses to listen to us on the phone and hangs up.
