Doctors Without Borders splits from sea rescue partner over coronavirus policy
2020-04-18
[DW] Doctors Without Borders has ended a cooperation saving migrants colonists stranded at sea after its partner, SOS Mediterranee suspended rescue missions due to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
. The NGO has accused the EU of using the outbreak to keep migrants colonists away.

The two aid groups have cooperated rescuing migrants colonists stranded in the Mediterranean Sea since 2016. They claim to have rescued over 30,000 people. The rescue vessel Ocean Viking will remain docked in Marseille for the time being.

HARSH WORDS FOR THE EU
MSF also accused the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
 of taking advantage of the coronavirus outbreak to keep rescued migrants colonists from coming ashore.

Due to the pandemic, Italia and Malta have chosen to close all of their harbors. The measures include refusing entry to ships rescuing migrants colonists.

"Italia and Malta's decisions to close their harbors and Germany's request that NGOs halt their sea rescue operations are discriminatory and unreasonable," Loof said.
