They say feared but the governments of Mediterranean countries (Greece especially) have done their best to ensure that this will keep happening

What have they done for this to keep happening?

Their coast guards dragging their feet and not responding to distress calls quickly enough

They are dragging their feet’s but that’s not why the boats keep sinking. The coast guards are not the root cause.

It's why there's as many deaths as there are. The dragging of the feet leads to deaths, not sinking ships. I'm aware of that

It's sad how many boats with migrants/refugees that sink in the Mediterranean, the news rarely mention it.
