I don't know if you guys, wherever you are, are receiving news about the waves of refugees arriving from North Africa in Italy.
However, a humanitarian crisis/emergency is unfolding and I am worried that the situation might get out of control.
I am also disgusted by some of the short-sighted, narrow minded and blatantly xenophobic attitudes being expressed by some.
Many people are saying things like "why should we help these people?". To them I would say it is not that we should, we must- whatever happened to humanitas?
