IT HAS been a month since the Italian port authorities seized the last NGO refugee rescue ship operating in the central Mediterranean.
In the last 31 days, over 150 people have drowned trying to flee war-torn Libya’s barbarous migrant detention centres and reach safety on European shores.
Over 1,000 more have been intercepted at sea and returned by the country’s EU-supported coastguards, according to estimates by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
