"Libyans leave migrants to their fate at sea"

According to the Spanish aid organization Proactiva Open Arms, the Libyan Coast Guard has left three boat migrants in the Mediterranean to their fate. Two of them, a woman and a child of about four, did not survive and were found by the NGO on Tuesday. Another woman was removed from the water by live rescuers, reports Proactiva

According to Proactiva, the three migrants were sitting on a rubber dinghy with nearly 160 others who were intercepted by the coastguards on Monday. off the coast of Libya. He announced that she had hosted the boat refugees in a refugee camp. But all the passengers did not want to board the Libyan boat, wrote on Twitter the founder of Proactiva, Oscar Camps. Three migrants refused, and the coast guard destroyed the boat. The three have left behind, says Camps.

The Libyan Coast Guard did not respond to accusations Tuesday night. The images of the rescue operation clearly show the wrecked canoe. In addition, the Libyan Coast Guard is known for its often brutal action.

The camps accuse Italy of this incident. The country is strongly opposed to migration via the Mediterranean Sea and cooperates with the Libyan Coast Guard. "That's what you get when you collaborate with armed militias, while letting the rest of Europe believe that Libya is a normal and safe state with a functioning government."

The Italian populist government immediately began working with a strict approach for migrants trying to reach Italy via the Mediterranean. She has already refused access to several ships with rescued migrants. These boats had to take refuge in Malta and Spain. The Italians also train the Libyan Coast Guard and deliver rescue operations to Libyans. Libya also receives money from the EU to fight against the flow of migration to Europe.

Italian Minister Salvini (Interior) reacted strongly to the statements of the camps. "The lies and insults of NGOs confirm the right: reducing the number of departures and arrivals of boats leads to fewer deaths and less profit for those who earn money through illegal migration" , he tweeted

. Salvini also came back to the problem. "I challenge everyone to find a tweet in which I say that a person must be left at sea to drown," said the minister. "My goal is to save everyone, to help everyone, to heal everyone, to feed everyone, but also to prevent everyone from coming to Italy."
