The death of about 700 people in three shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Sea is another reminder of the horrors of the refugee crisis (1) Europe. Despite the obvious danger of crossing the sea on small, unseaworthy vessels, tens of thousands of refugees from Africa and West Asia make this (2) journey every year, fleeing war and misery. This year, more than 2,000 people have drowned trying to reach Europe, a number that may well surpass the early 3,700. Europe’s response to the crisis has been far from effective. Globally there is a spike in the number of refugees over the past few years, mainly due to the wars and civil strife in West Asia and North Africa. Europe cannot (3) itself from such problems in its wider neighbourhood. Refugees have taken two major routes to reach Europe: from Turkey to the Greek islands, and from Libya to Italy. The ‘One In, One Out’ deal reached recently between the European Union and Turkey, under which Europe will resettle one Syrian refugee in the continent for every Syrian returned to Turkey from the Greek islands, has seen the arrival of refugees from Turkey subside. But the closure of this route has (4) those who smuggle refugees to shift their focus to Libya, resulting in a surge of arrivals on the Italian coast.

If Europe wants to prevent people from drowning, rescue teams should be provided the resources they ask for. Third, the official European position is that more should be done to stop refugees from leaving for Europe in the first place. This cannot be done unless there are functional, cooperative governments in these countries.
