Several NGOs in Italy have denounced European countries for their alleged role in migrant deaths in the Mediterranean Sea, emphasizing the responsibility states bear in preventing further tragedies at sea, reported InfoMigrants website. Several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Italy have condemned Europe’s response to the migration crisis, calling for immediate action to increase search and rescue operations, ensuring the safety of those attempting these dangerous crossings. The NGOs argue that governments must prioritize saving lives over restrictive border control policies. They have urged European nations to adopt a more compassionate and humanitarian approach in dealing with irregular migration instead, stressing the importance of addressing the root causes of migration, such as poverty, conflict, and lack of opportunities. The scarcity of skilled labor arguably adds another dimension to the irregular migration issue, highlighting the potential benefits of a more inclusive approach to migration policies.
