A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.
It’s not just people missing. It’s the efforts of the various organisations around the world that have put huge amounts of effort into finding them when they could’ve saved a lot more (hell 1 more is a lot more) had they focused on larger disasters.
But because the victims are Arabs and refugees, nobody cares.
I agree that not all people receive the same amount of attention but I still argue that if it had capsized and there was people trapped inside then people all around the world would rush to help. There arent that many vessels capable of doing this kind of stuff so when they’re needed all available ones start heading there immediately no matter whose in trouble.
