"There was a sixteen-year-old Afghan who lost a sister and doesn't know how to tell his family, who remained in his homeland. A father who managed to save one of his children but not his wife or the other three, and who has not stopped blaming himself since yesterday. But every single survivor of last night's shipwreck off the coast of Crotone lost at least one family member in the disaster. The 80 survivors require not only medical attention, food, and shelter, but also (and perhaps most importantly) psychological support." Doctors Without Borders arrived in Crotone yesterday with its own staff to assess the situation following the dramatic shipwreck of Cutro, according to Sergio Di Dato, head of Doctors Without Borders' intervention: "The boat was in poor condition and could not withstand the weight of the passengers or the high waves. The people who were rescued did not mention any Guardia di Finanza or coast guard ships nearby; they claimed to have heard an explosion, but none of the rescuers were burned ". According to Di Dato, the Afghan family " escaped the Taliban regime. They decided to embark on this journey because their lives were in grave danger." According to Doctors Without Borders "it will be impossible to avoid new tragedies without finally restoring an institutional system of rescue at sea, which does not exist". That it does not have to be borne entirely by Italy, as yesterday's bipartisan politics demanded: "Clearly, with Europe's and its member states' support. We must return to a coordination system that separates maritime rescue from the fight against illegal immigration".
