There's so much irony in the fact that the world's resources were mobilised to save 5 people while 2 major incidents involving the death of a lot of migrants was happening. First the Greece incident, now this.

Was it really the world's resources and not just the Coast Guards of the two closest countries, exactly the same as with these migrants?
