Libya conflict: UK funds to help trapped workers.

Libya conflict: UK funds to help trapped workers.

The UK is going to help five thousand migrants, who are trapped in Misrata, Western Libya.

The minister has been informed that the situation is very severe, as the shootings from Colonel Cadaffi's followers continue and the city is running out on food, medicine and electricity.
Britain is to give money to support the evacuation of the migrants, workers from South Asia, Africa and The Middle East. They will be transported by ships. More money will be given to the International Medical Corps, who gives medical aid to the people in Libya, who are threatened by violence.

Saving innocent inhabitans is a country's duty.
I think it is very good of the UK to fund the evacuation of migrants in Libya, because I think it is an other country's duty to help people in danger when their own country has turned on them. The UK is already involved in the mission to send airforces to Lybia to eliminate important places of the Libyian government. However, Cadaffi and his forces are still terrorising cities and shooting innocent inhabitans, so sending help to those inhabitans should be a very important part of the mission as well. That is why I am an advocate of the funding of this evacuation.
