波打ち際に子供たちや女性の死体が

　同じtoddlerの死でも6年前のAylan Kurdiとは異なる扱いとなるものか。

BBC Dead children washed up on Libya beach, says charity 26 May 2021

　リビアの海岸で、波打ち際に死体が数体、打ち上げられているのが発見され、スペインのチャリティ団体経由で公表されたという。ああProactiva Open Armsか。元気に活動しているようだ。

「Images of dead children and women washed up on a beach in Libya have been shared by a Spanish charity.

The NGO Proactiva Open Arms received some of the photos from inside Libya and said they are of people who had tried to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, a dangerous route for migrants.」

「They show the partially clothed bodies of small children and a woman, bloated and half buried in the sand.

At least 743 migrants are known to have died in the Mediterranean this year.」

　toddlerくらいの幼児がしんでる―というのはそれなりにショッキングで。難民危機の際にはそりゃもう―だが、まあ、その。

「At least 743 migrants are known to have died in the Mediterranean this year.

According to the data published by UN's International Organization for Migration, there have been 630 recorded deaths in the central Mediterranean alone in 2021, compared with 289 deaths for the whole sea in 2020.」

　急速な移民流入には反対したい人も多かろうが、とはいえ地中海に沈む人の数が増えるのも難とおもうことだろう。
　…なんとかならんのかと思いはしても、ものっそい構造的な問題ですからねー…。
