The world needs to wake up to the tsunami of migration, not by hostility and indifference but by empathy and creating the environment for normal lives to be led (food, shelter, safety, and a quality of life for every human being). ‘Life is ebbing away’: Egyptians face peril at sea in dangerous new exodus to Europe https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/18/egyptians-face-peril-at-sea-in-dangerous-new-exodus-to-europe?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
