SAR NGOs demand replacement of EU border force
Search and rescue NGOs have called for the replacement of EU border force with searchandrescue programme.
This was disclosed by SOS Humanity International on its X handle.
The lost reads: “As #SAR NGOs, we demand: Instead of an #EU border police force which is aiding and abetting human rights violations against people on the move, we need a European #searchandrescue programme that rescues people in distress and protects their rights!.”
On Sunday, October 27, 2024, SOS Humanity told of how Italy assigned a distant safety port for a rescued person.
It said: “This afternoon, the crew of #Humanity1 rescued a single person without life-saving equipment from an unseaworthy boat in distress spotted from our rescue ship in international waters off the Libyan coast.
“The person stated to have fled and asked the crew for help and protection. Italy assigned the distant port of Salerno as a place of safety – almost 3 days of navigation and 870 km away from the location of the rescue.”
