GreenLebel has developed a dashboard with an interactive map to support the NGO SOS Méditerranée in its fight against misinformation about its rescue operations at sea. A dashboard that offers an intuitive approach to exploring the details of the operations to better communicate and combat the misinformation that discredits the NGO’s actions.
Used every year by tens of thousands of people fleeing war, violence, poverty and difficult living conditions, the Central Mediterranean is one of the main migratory routes. It is also one of the deadliest, with an average of 2,800 human losses or disappearances each year since 2015 (source UNHCR). Behind these figures lies a reality, and this is where humanitarian organizations, such as SOS Méditerranée, step in, to reduce this figure and rescue anyone in distress in the Mediterranean. These rescue operations are vital, though often unrecognized and criminalized.
