The Mediterranean shipwreck serves as a grim testament to Europe's harsh asylum policies. With rising displacement from conflict, poverty, and climate change, the Global North is shutting borders, forcing desperate individuals onto perilous paths.
A member of the coast guard overlooks survivors as they rest in a warehouse used as a temporary shelter, after a boat carrying hundreds of refugees sank in the Ionian Sea, in Kalamata, Greece, on June 14, 2023., crammed to the gills with migrants hoping to reach European shores from Tobruk, in eastern Libya, sinking off the coast of Greece., offering up just a tiny fraction of the coverage that they accord air disasters, or floods and earthquakes in wealthy countries.
Roughly 100 people, all men, were rescued by the Greek coast guard when the ship rapidly sank in deep waters in the Ionian Sea off the Greek islands, as it was heading west toward Italy;. Yet, the reports state that roughly 500 more, mainly women and children, had been locked belowdecks by the smugglers and did not make it to safety once the ship began to take on water.
At first, the Greek authorities offered up a story that they had tried to stop the clearly distressed vessel and ask if it needed help, but that the occupants of the overcrowded fishing boat insisted that they wanted to continue on their voyage to Italy; and so, according to this rather implausible narrative, the coast guard just let them continue on their merry way.
