MSF recovers 11 bodies from sea
MSF Sea says it has recovered 11 bodies from the sea.
The recovery exercise according to the organization took place yesterday June 7, 2024.
It said: “The 11 bodies recovered from the #sea yesterday were transferred to a @guardiacostiera vessel near #Lampedusa, after instructions from the #Italian authorities.”
Before the recovery, MSF Sea had posted that: “#GeoBarents resumed navigation towards the distant port of #Genova to disembark the 165 survivors onboard.
After conducting two rescues early this morning, @MSF teams witnessed yet again the result of the devastating and bloody #European policies on #migration and non-assistance for people taking the #Mediterranean.
“And this time, 11 people lost their lives‼ As we cannot determine the reason behind this tragedy, we know that people will continue to take dangerous routes in a desperate attempt to reach safety, and #Europe must find safe and legal pathways for them. This catastrophe must end!”
