The increasing running costs facing charities operating in the Mediterranean Sea

The increasing running costs facing charities operating in the Mediterranean Sea.

In the second of three programmes, we’ll hear about the increasing running costs facing charities involved in running search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea.

Inflated fuel prices, cost of living crises and political interference are all driving the costs of the operation up. So can the boats continue to operate?
