\nIFIR Press release:<\/span>
\nSailing boat carrying 45 refugees capsized close to Crete<\/span>
\nThe International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (IFIR) correspondent reported to us on 21 July 2021, that a boat<\/span>
\nof 45 refugees started their journey from Antalya, Turkey to Italy. Sadly however on the 22 July the boat<\/span>
\ncapsized. 37 of the 45 refugees were rescued. Currently the Greek coast guard is looking for the 8 refugees<\/span>
\nwho are missing.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>
\nWe urge the authorities of Greece and Turkey to continue looking for these missing people.<\/span>
\nWe understand must of the refugees are from Iraqi Kurdistan.<\/span>
\nThe husband of one of the missing refugees said:<\/span>
\n\u201dMy wife from Kurdistan is 32 years old, and is one of those missing\u201d.<\/span>
\nDashty Jamal Secretary of IFIR said:<\/span>
\n\u201cThis is a tragic and unfortunately not an uncommon story. These people are refugees; they are fleeing from an<\/span>
\nunsafe and violent country and have no choice but to run from their country\u201d.<\/span>
\nHe added:<\/span>
\n\u201cA huge wave of escaping and fleeing millions has become a practical and real crisis -which is continuing. It is<\/span>
\nnot related to a specific area or country, but is now a worldwide phenomenon, which will grow due to the<\/span>
\nconflicts between the imperialist blocks in order to divide areas of authority and find markets for their products.<\/span>
\nMilitary intervention, economic sanction, a political gap, war and proxy wars by states, groups, mercenary<\/span>
\nparties, and terrorist groups have made the situation inhumane. Thus war, safety, nationality and hatred<\/span>
\nbetween people has; forced compulsory migration upon people, forcing them to become refugees. <\/span>
\nThe West and European countries should avoid their interference policy and stop supporting the gangs, groups,<\/span>
\nand oppressing countries that make their people face war and social unrest.<\/span>
\nThey should cancel all their hidden promises and agreements with their people.<\/span>
\nThere should be an immediate end to the policy of making refugees and war immigrants wait in the camps and<\/span>
\nisolate them from civic life. They must be transferred to a place of safety; this is a basic human necessity which<\/span>
\nall people deserve.<\/span>
\nTo officially recognize the political asylum seekers that have escaped war, nations and religious conflicts.<\/span><\/h4>\n

2<\/span>
\nThe International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (IFIR) will continue to fight for refugees. We ask all the refugee<\/span>
\nrights&#39; organizations to support the rights of refugees\u201d.<\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
