The death toll in the Mediterranean is still rising, and an incident that cost 50 lives highlighted the recklessness of the Libyan Coast Guard, backed by Italy and the EU. Also: the Italian asylum system is still inadequate, and asylum seekers are facing a lottery. Refugee camps in Europe are still unequipped for the winter, while solidarity crimes are rampant. Last: still not enough is being done for the Rohingya, who are victims of a genocide that no one wants to call by its true name.
