Un articolo del New York Times fa luce su una situazione spinosa: man mano che i salvataggi si spostano verso le spiagge libiche, aumenta il numero di morti.

Joel Millman, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, cautioned against concluding that the situation had improved.

“It’s much more piecemeal,” he said, referring to the slower but steadier pace of drownings. “It’s much more dangerous. They’re putting people in much smaller boats and in greater numbers.”

While dire conditions in Libya and other African countries have played a larger role in motivating migrants to flee, aid groups have recognized how their efforts have bolstered the smuggling business model.
