(...) After a long, thorough and rigorous inspection that began on 22 August and ended on 6 September, all documents authorising the MARE JONIO to sail have been renewed, but its licence as a "salvage/rescue vessel" has again been refused. read more

The Sea-Watch ship Aurora was arrested by Italian authorities after a 37-hour rescue operation in which it supported the civilian rescue organisation Open Arms and rescued 72 people from distress at sea.

This year alone, more than 2200 people have drowned in the Mediterranean. read more
