    While Governments squabble over responsibility people’s lives are put in greater jeopardy:

    Night falls but still no assigned port of safety for 339 people rescued in by rescue ship & merchant ship . It's an obligation to rescue people in distress at sea, they must be disembarked in nearest port of safety!

    Over 300 people are stranded at sea on the rescue ship and a merchant vessel bc Italy & Malta refuse to allow disembarkation, and no other EU country is offering aid. A total abdication of decency & a violation of int'l norms
