Doctors Without Borders ("MSF") and SOS Mediterranée cease saving lives on Mediterranean with ship Aquarius after being stripped of Panama flagging in September, so being stuck in Marseilles, reports SR.
They saved >30000 lives since 2016, while >2100 migrants died from drowning there so far in 2018.

They were last volunteer orgs performing the life-saving States are required to do but don't.
Due to recent State practices commercial ships now avoid areas where refugees may be drowning because they would otherwise be obligated to save them.

Meanwhile, EU pays Libya to capture refugees using their universal human right to travel and to seek asylum, causing a huge surge in modern slavery.
Also Turkey was paid by EU to stop people using their universal human rights and many of those have then been used for illegal population transfer to militarily occupied areas.
