The Salvamento boat has carried out two rescues in recent days: He boarded 93 migrants on 9 February and 60 on 10 February. Father Mari is prepared for 150 people, so he is full. In the crew, 51 minors and 3 pregnant women travel. The rescued on Sunday are mostly African, while those who have been received on Monday are the Bangladeshis.

The NGO Humanitarian Maritime Rescue (SMH) recalled that "the rescue in international waters must be carried out in compliance with the Convention on the Status of Refugees, which states that no one rescued can return to a place where they flee. European States must therefore be responsible for ensuring the lives of all people in the Mediterranean."

The SMH criticises that "the EU Government, knowing that there are people travelling on precarious boats every month, does not extend search and rescue vessels" and criticises that it "gives the self-appointed Libyan coastguards de facto the management of search and rescue operations".

In this context, "at least 91 people disappeared in the early morning of February 9, after the Libyans refused to seek them. The European Union is complicit in these deaths. And its outsourcing strategy only serves to strengthen third countries that cannot be considered as full democracy."
