“NATO units left 61 migrants to die of hunger and thirst”
INTERNATIONAL PAPERS, Mon., 9/5/2011: The Guardian headlines this morning on NATO units that “left 61 migrants die of hunger and thirst” in the Mediterranean Sea in late March. Controversially, the article claims that it was ‘likely’ that the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was the NATO vessel that failed to come to their rescue. The French Navy denies the charges.
Articles in today’s international press review:
Correction: I said that 72 refugees had died on this boat in question. In fact 72 was the total number of passengers including 61 who died on board, 2 who died later and 9 who survived.
The Guardian: “NATO units left 61 migrants to die of hunger and thirst”
The Observer: Arabic exodus likely to lead to tighter border controls in Europe
