"In the aftermath of what is believed to be the deadliest shipwreck in Greece’s Search and Rescue (SAR) zone, Solomon’s analysis of the programmes to be implemented, as spelled out in a national programming document, reveals that just a programme of €600,000 has been designated for enhancing the national Search and Rescue capacity.

"This amounts to just 0,07% of the total budget allocated for border management, while the bulk of the money concerns the procurement of deterrence equipment such as drones, vehicles of all kinds, thermal cameras, helicopters, and automated surveillance systems."
