Britain refuses to help immigrants adrift in the Mediterranean because it could encourage more to flee North Africa

Ministers are withdrawing support for rescue operations that save thousands of migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Europe, amid fears traffickers use them as a ‘taxi service’.

In the past year around 150,000 people making the treacherous crossing from North Africa, many in ramshackle boats, have been picked up by the Italian navy.

But Britain, along with other EU countries, is refusing to pay for further rescue missions due to concerns they encourage more migrants to attempt the journey.

Is there ever a justification for leaving people to drown in the Med?

Why do people leave their homes, travel by foot many hundreds of miles, risk attack, exploitation, starvation and hunger, to board rickety, crowded boats (the kind that are known to have sank previously, killing hundreds of people in one go)?

Is UK letting migrants drown as they cross the Med?

In its carefully worded justification of why the British government will henceforth commit only one – yes, one – solitary ”debriefer” to the European-wide effort to alleviate the worst refugee crisis in Europe since the second world war, the Home Office states the following: it wants to avoid the “pull factor” of an excessively helping hand for the thousands of migrants who have decided to risk their lives by boarding rickety crafts to Europe.

Immigration : Londres s’oppose aux missions de secours

La Grande-Bretagne ne veut pas participer aux futures opérations européennes de sauvetage des réfugiés en Méditerranée. Celles-ci auraient pour seul effet d’attirer encore plus de migrants, a déclaré mardi la secrétaire d’Etat aux Affaires étrangères, Joyce Anelay. Pour certains commentateurs, Londres instrumentalise la détresse des réfugiés à des fins électorales. Pour d’autres, les initiatives visant à stabiliser la situation dans les pays d’origine sont plus judicieuses que des opérations de secours en mer.

Opting out of Mediterranean rescue condemns desperate migrants to death

The UK government is seeking to defend its decision not to support rescue missions for migrants making the dangerous crossing to Europe via the central Mediterranean. And even though Europe professes to be stepping up to the plate, the emphasis is now being placed on monitoring European waters rather than actually helping those in trouble. Unless all of Europe faces what is, in reality, a shared problem, many more tragic deaths are likely to follow the thousands that have occurred in the past few years.
