This baby was among 946 refugees aboard the rescue ship Aquarius operated by MSF/Doctors Without Borders after their rescue in the Mediterranean from 9 separate rubber & wooden boats. They will be disembarked at Catania, an Italian port.

Asylum for refugees is a human rights issue; it is a child welfare issue.

Open the borders.

(But isn’t it a lovely picture?)
