Relief Group Condemns Rising Threats to Migrants in Mediterranean
The relief organization SOS Mediterranee condemned the increase in threats and harassment faced by migrants and rescue ships in the Mediterranean Sea. The region has seen a rise in violence and assaults by unidentified boats linked to Libyan armed groups, as well as violent interception operations carried out by these parties. These violations have resulted in the death and injury of 821 people in the first four months of the year, marking an increase of 111% compared to the same period in 2025. Meanwhile, the number of migrants arriving by sea has declined by 46%. Observers believe that Europe’s tightening of migration policies has contributed to the increased dangers of crossing and has pushed the situation out of control.
