The United Nations has released an urgent call for action after a shipwreck off the coast of Libya
Tripoli, April 26 (RHC)-- The United Nations has released an urgent call for action after a shipwreck off the coast of Libya claimed an estimated 130 lives last week. It was the largest tragedy in the Central Mediterranean since the start of the year; 2021 has seen at least twice as many deaths along the dangerous migration route as the same period last year.
Calling on all nations to strengthen search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean, the United Nations urged all nations to stop returning refugees to dangerous countries, and to allow for safe disembarkation procedures.
