ACTIVISTS condemned European inaction today after two NGO refugee rescue ships saved the lives of over 100 people in the Mediterranean yesterday.

Alarm Phone, an activist network which provides support for people crossing Europe’s deadliest border, was contacted on Thursday by three separate groups of people in distress at sea while attempting to flee Libya.

“A rubber boat in distress with 44 people on board, including 21 women, alerted us in the early morning at 5.02 CET,” Alarm Phone tweeted.
