Migrants wait to be rescued in the Mediterranean Sea, 30 nautic miles from the Libyan coast, earlier this week. "Sea-Eye has decided to resume its rescue missions in the Mediterranean which had been halted for a month," the NGO said in a statement. "This case shows that claims by Frontex and the EU that there are no more refugees, and therefore no more drowning people, off the Libyan coast are false." "We owe it to the people in need to stay on site and undertake rescue operations when necessary," he said. Migrant aid ships have played a key role in assisting the rescue operations.
