Authorities in Italy, Malta and Libya failed to react quickly, if at all, to a migrant boat wreck last month that left more than 100 people dead, a new analysis has found. Looking over logs and emails from Alarm Phone, a hotline for transiting migrants in distress, and non-governmental organisation SOS Mediterranée, the Associated Press found that urgent calls for help were not responded to in a sufficient manner. As many as 130 people, predominantly from African countries, are believed to have died in the shipwreck between 21 and 22 April as they awaited rescue, roughly 45 kilometres off the Libyan coast. Passengers on board had made frantic calls for help, asserting that the dinghy they were in had run out of fuel and was filling up with water.
