MEPs reject migrant rescue resolution
By EUobserver
The European Parliament plenary in Strasbourg on Thursday rejected a resolution demanding EU states do more on search and rescue at sea. Oxfam, an international NGO, has described the rejection as shameful. "Europe needs more and better search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean to save people's lives," said Oxfam's EU migration policy advisor advisor Raphael Shilhav, in a statement.
