I flag it as a hazard - with no planning permission - to both migrants and locals, including its potential of becoming Grenfell on water

Last year I spent 6 months in the Mediterranean w/ @MSF. After being rescued, most people had the same thing to say: "I prefer to die in the sea than return to Libya". I put together an interactive story trying to explain through people's stories... 1/2
