2 children on the boat have died in recent days -- and the health of others are deteriorating. To ignore such a tragedy, just off #Malta's coast, represents an unspeakable lack of humanity. Time for someone to step up, @Government of Malta 🇲🇹.

For 10 days, ~60 #Syria & #Lebanon migrants have been on a small boat trying to get to #Italy. 3 days ago, they ran out of food, water & baby formula -- & the boat is now taking on water. #Malta, #Greece & #Italy are refusing to dispatch rescue boats. They're slowly sinking.
