Migrants from West Africa are given life jackets and brought aboard the Geo Barents, a rescue vessel operated by Doctors Without Borders on June 10, 2021. As the world felt like it was emerging from Covid in early 2021, there was a new surge in migration across the Central Mediterranean. At the same time, European countries locked down their borders, and the EU border agency began to increasingly rely on and collaborate with the Libyan Coast Guard (LCG) to keep the migrants from European shores, giving the LCG assistance in intercepting migrant boats. As a result, this year has seen a dramatic increase in the deadliness of these crossings. Amid these pressures, humanitarian ships have slowly begun resuming their operations.
