R42 Sail & Rescue
The Imara is a sailing boat that monitors and performs first aid missions in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and Libya. On one of the world's deadliest routes, the EU is allowing thousands of desperate people to drown while fleeing — speculating it will operate as a deterrent. And it has continued unabated for years. This is unacceptable. Like other civil organisations, we want to draw attention to this inhumane practice and rescue people before they drown.
