Over Â£50,000 raised to block refugee rescue missions at sea
Members of the anti-Islam and anti-immigrant 'Identitarian' movement have raised over Â£50,000 in less than three weeks to disrupt boats run by aid charities to help rescue refugees in the Mediterranean Sea, according to reports. The money was raised through an anonymous crowdfunding campaign. Notably, aid charities have saved more than 6,000 refugees heading towards Europe from drowning this year.
