ON September 5 Al Jazeera reported that 60 refugees stranded in the Mediterranean, mostly from Lebanon and Syria, had not got any help from European coastguards despite distress calls and reports of children among them dying. Instead, they were being watched from a container ship.

Such reports of criminal insensitivity are not an aberration. Every year, thousands of people die from drowning or go missing in the Mediterranean while trying to cross over to Europe from conflict-ridden, poor and developing nations in Asia and Africa.
