His head RNLI He once defended the lifeboat crew to help rescue migrants at sea, saying that “decent people” regarded this as “the highest level of humanitarian work.”
RNLI CEO Mark Dowie said he felt it was necessary to comment after a volunteer report was questioned for bringing migrants to a safe place.
A record number of immigrants are trying to cross potential dangers English Channel Go to England, even if you swear work from home Route from the mainland Europe “Not feasible”.
Mr. Dowie said that marine charities “do the right thing” by providing assistance to people, regardless of the reason for their entry into the water.
He told the PA News Agency: “The people of these islands (Britain) are fundamentally decent people, and all decent people will regard it as the highest level of humanitarian work.
“Our staff should not endure some of the abuse they have received.”
A sort of London After the volunteer was verbally attacked, RNLI staff launched an attack on social media over the weekend.
Cruise also described the receiving end of being an “angry mob” after returning from the rescue, and the public yelled “Return to France” to immigrants.
Mr. Dowie acknowledged that the immigration crisis is a divisive issue, but said that RNLI volunteers just want to prevent people from dying at sea.
He said: “Since the opening of this route, we have seen negative reactions to the issue in the past five years.
“This is polarization, but this is the highest level of humanitarian work. This is something we should remember.
We saw life jackets made of lemonade bottles strung together, women and children, young people, old people, without life jackets, ships passing hundreds of yards in the vast sea of people.For those people, it’s a very, very scary environment
“Our volunteers get up in the middle of the night, leave work, leave their families, and go out to do this because they believe in doing the right thing. Never doubt their commitment to this.
“If you look at social media, you will find that almost all issues have very strong opinions. We are doing the right thing.”
Mr. Dowie said that the small boats of immigrants are often overloaded and not enough to cope with such a dangerous journey. The conditions on the boats are bad and people suffer from exposure, dehydration or other diseases. Sometimes they spend more than 30 hours trying to teach in the UK.
Mr. Dowie said: “We saw life jackets made of lemonade bottles strung together, women and children, young people, elderly people, without life jackets, in remote places, ships passing hundreds of yards away.
“For those people, this is a very, very scary environment.
“The most lasting response of people who have completed this journey is to board a (rescue) vessel that is more suitable for this situation. This is an absolute relief.”
RNLI also released dramatic footage of rescue operations in the English Channel, when about a dozen distressed and trembling people on a small boat were pulled to safety to highlight the plight of those trying to make the trip.
Mr. Daui said: “This story needs to be told. This is a very polarizing issue. The humanitarian aspect of this has not been properly told.
“We now want to tell everyone that our staff are getting busy with this work.
“It is important that what they see and do is appropriately appreciated.”
So far this year, more than 9,000 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats, despite the dangerous journeys that have taken their lives in the past.
According to PA’s data analysis, as of July, more than 3,300 people have arrived in the UK, setting a new monthly record.
Government officials worry that as the summer continues, a large number of border crossings will continue to exist, and the number of boat arrivals this year has exceeded the total for 2020.
