Additional Information / Shotlist 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;05;25
V5, Line 01
Every day, about 8 people have died in the
V5, Line 02
Central Mediterranean Sea this year so far.

00;00;05;25 - 00;00;10;06
V5, Line 01
We are talking about
V5, Line 02
2,200 men, women and children.

00;00;10;06 - 00;00;13;13
V5, Line 01
Year in and year out,
V5, Line 02
we are calling for the deaths to end.

PANEL 00:13 This needs to stop. Now.

00;00;15;17 - 00;00;18;18
V5, Line 01
And what about those who
V5, Line 02
survive the dangerous sea crossing?

00;00;18;18 - 00;00;23;03
V5, Line 01
On board the MSF rescue vessel,
V5, Line 02
survivors tell us about the horrific violence

00;00;23;03 - 00;00;24;17
V5, Line 01
they have experienced.
V5, Line 02

00;00;24;17 - 00;00;26;27
V5, Line 01
To give you an idea of what
V5, Line 02
we are talking about:

00;00;26;27 - 00;00;30;01
V5, Line 01
dehydration and fuel burns
V5, Line 02
from the sea crossings,

00;00;30;01 - 00;00;33;05
V5, Line 01
scars and gunshot wounds
V5, Line 02
from detention in Libya,

00;00;33;05 - 00;00;36;02
V5, Line 01
unwanted pregnancies from sexual violence.
V5, Line 02

PANEL 2 00:36 What is the European response to that?

00;00;38;11 - 00;00;41;02
V5, Line 01
More deterrence, more border violence.
V5, Line 02

00;00;41;02 - 00;00;44;11
V5, Line 01
EU states try everything they can
V5, Line 02
to prevent people from coming.

00;00;44;11 - 00;00;47;15
V5, Line 01
How?
V5, Line 02
Through agreements with third countries

00;00;47;15 - 00;00;50;02
V5, Line 01
and forced return to unsafe places.
V5, Line 02

00;00;50;02 - 00;00;54;01
V5, Line 01
But also through directly avoiding
V5, Line 02
to assist people who are in need.

00;00;54;09 - 00;00;58;08
V5, Line 01
Such as Malta who has become a champion
V5, Line 02
in not rescuing people,

00;00;58;08 - 00;01;03;04
V5, Line 01
or Italy who is deliberately obstructing
V5, Line 02
our lifesaving work at sea

00;01;03;04 - 00;01;05;26
V5, Line 01
and sending NGO ships to faraway ports.
V5, Line 02

01:05 PANEL 3: How many more death?
