"Once the media attention was focused on me, in the Mediterranean the situation is the same again. There are people who struggle every day, who try to escape from Libya and when they arrive here their life is not easy. aware that the risk of death continues even now that media attention has disappeared. I know how many people in Italy are involved to help other people in need. There are many people who need help. " With these words Carola Rackete, commander of the Sea Watch, host of the transmission of Fabio Fazio on Rai 2 "Che Tempo Che Fa", comments on the situation of migrants. In the Mediterranean Sea "there are still desperate people who want to be saved and our ship is still stuck here even if the Court released it but the media attention seems to have disappeared", he continued. Rackete then added that "the risk of death remains strong" for migrants and has had words of thanks "for the solidarity of Italian civil society, which exists and works". Finally, she turned to European governments, asking: "Where has our humanity gone if we cannot even abide by international laws? When I look to the future and think about climate change, I worry, we need so many people to push for change, not one person is enough, I did a little thing but then the support of many is needed, "he concluded.
