Nearly 100 Libyan refugees are trapped in the Mediterranean. How to rescue them effectively?

BEIJING, July 28 (Xinhua)-The European Union reported that on July 27, local time, the United Nations Organization for International Migration (IOM) said that about 100 Libyan refugees encountered difficulties in the Mediterranean and faced great danger of drowning. The organization called on the international community to quickly launch rescue operations.

It is reported that entering the summer has brought favorable conditions for navigation and triggered more immigrants to cross the Mediterranean. The deteriorating situation in Libya has prompted more refugees to take this opportunity to flee to European countries by sea. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) warned on the 27th that about 95 refugees fleeing Libya are floating in the Mediterranean Sea, in a very dangerous situation. The International Organization for Migration emphasizes that every country and every captain has a moral and legal obligation to respond positively to these refugees in distress at sea as soon as possible. According to the latest statistics released by the International Organization for Migration on July 20th, nearly 27,000 illegal immigrants and refugees have entered the EU in 2020. The latest report released by the European Border Agency shows that with the gradual relaxation of border control in European countries, the number of illegal immigrants has increased rapidly since May, and it is likely that there will be a larger refugee tide in the coming months.

How to effectively rescue people trapped in the Mediterranean?

First of all, for the trapped people, if there are emergency rations on the raft, it is very good and may not starve to death. If there are rations, divide them into small amounts every day, so that they can last for a long time and there will be no digestive problems. If not, you can use lace as a fishing rod, such as a jar as a hook, and then try fishing. If you lack such items, you can try to catch seaweed. Small fish may get stuck there. Even if the trapped people have food storage, they can try fishing. After all, fish contains some liquid, so don't eat bad food, no matter how hungry you are.

Second, find ways to continuously provide liquid to the trapped people. Water is more valuable than food. After all, when trapped, it hardly moves, wasting little energy, but the liquid is constantly consumed. To get condensed water, you need a box, two containers, waterproof materials and weight. Take a container and pour seawater into it. Put the other one in the next box. Fix two or more waterproof materials (such as polyethylene) together and put heavy objects on empty containers. Soon, the container will be filled with fresh water.
