I think that what Europe is doing won't solve anything. If you take care of 10.000 refugees, 10.000 others will arrive tomorrow, and thousands will still die trying to cross the sea. Europe's action is just like a band aid on a wooden leg (french expression, don't know if it exists in english ^^).

You have to secure the crossing with official and better boats, but it's expensive and will really increase the refugees number. The other solution is to prevent the crossing, by destroying the dangerous clandestine ships when they're empty for example, while trying to solve the problems in the country of origin (Syria, Egypt...). Easier said than done, but without hope in these countries, there will be no end to this refugees crisis, and it could end badly in Europe...

With what's happening now, we will still see drowned kids on the shore (the reactions about this photo are ridiculous...), and we will always struggle to take care of everyone.
