the world supported them.

In this case there was a chance these people might be alive .

The migrant boat had too many people but they did not want help as they wanted to get to Italy . The boat mainly had Pakistanis and Egyptians . Those are not warzones although they do have problems with religion being a big one.

Also I have said that things like giving rights to women and lgbtq is one big reason things are better in "the west" than these religious countries but get accused of wanting to impose western ideology in their "culture" .

And there actually have been problems with the migrants . Religion being a big one and the ones from Muslim countries being mostly male while the ones from Ukraine are women and children .

And none of the women and children on that boat survived. They were pushed below by the adult males .
