I'm just sad that so much time, resources and attention was focused on the fate of these 5 people, when there are literally 2 other incidents involving the potential deaths of hundreds of migrants happening at the same time.

There's not a limit on resources here. They didn't send people here who could have gone to the other boats.

In the case of the Canary Islands boat there was actually a Spanish ship present that chose not to assist. It's suggested that if they'd helped then nobody would have died on that boat.

It's foul.
