Sep 2020. Italy and Malta Refuse Migrants Entry

Some 180 sea migrants are “in limbo” in the Mediterranean because Italy and Malta are refusing to take them in, sea rescue charity SOS Mediterranee said Thursday. Frederic Penard, operations director of SOS Mediterranee, said the charity had sent five requests to Italy and Malta, each time without success. Rescue organizations have restarted missions in April to save hundreds of migrants stranded at sea, two months after abandoning operations due to the coronavirus pandemic. The migrants were picked up in four separate rescue operations, with the first two performed a week ago, and are fleeing from violence and abuse in Libya, SOS Mediterranee said. “Some of the 180 survivors have been in precarious conditions at sea for more than eight days. This situation is unbearable,” the charity said. They All look like Fighting Age Men as so far as I can see. If they can do it, we can!!
