Seems like there's an opportunity for NGO boats to distribute the survivors amongst themselves while in international waters. No way for the Italians to know who rescued who.

Or, you know, have some humanity and let them come ashore anyway.

But humanity needs to be backed up by resources to provide to the new arrivals: housing, energy, schooling, medical care, jobs, etc. Those aren't in excess supply right now. Many EU countries have seen a Real GDP per capita stagnation since 2008. Since covid and the war, most Europeans have taken a ral hit on their wallets.

If you're stretched thin with not enough to go around for the locals, they might not accept your humanitarian efort towards outsiders as being in their best interest, and vote for some rightwing muppet with a funny moustache in your place.

You still have to know who is coming, especially the number, to start a search and rescue operation if someone is suspected to be still in the sea.

No one is seriously proposing that migrants be allowed to drown. The real question is whether they should be brought ashore in Italy, or in some other country.
