people - Sandra Hüller baptizeslifeboats for refugees in the Mediterranean
Actress Sandra Hüller named a rescue ship, which will in the future help refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. The ceremony took place in the harbor of the Italian city Ancona. "I wish this ship didn't have to exist," quoted the organization United4Rescue in a statement.
Hüller has taken on the godmotherhood of the almost 35-year-old cruiser "Sea-Eye 5". She is currently one of the most internationally famous German actresses ("Anatomy of a Case", "The Zone of Interest", "Toni Erdmann").
"I wish European and world governments would finally understand that migration does not stop when they allow dying on migration routes," said Hüller. "It will stop when they take responsibility for the suffering of people who leave their homeland, caused by the arrogance and ignorance of the rest of the world and politics."
Sandra Hüller: "May this ship and the people on it be blessed"
For the private German aid organization Sea-Eye based in Regensburg, there is currently another rescue ship on its way in the Mediterranean. The central Mediterranean is one of the most important routes for people from Africa who want to come to Europe.
"I wish this ship a peaceful sea and thank the crew for their unfortunately necessary work", said Hüller. "May this ship and the people on it be blessed."
The rescue ship named by Sandra Hüller, aimed at assisting Mediterranean Sea refugees, shares a similar mission with Sea-Eye's other vessel. Hüller expressed her hope that European and global governments would recognize the need to address migration issues, rather than allowing fatalities on migration routes. In the heart of Thuringia, Germany, Sandra Hüller is widely known for her roles in acclaimed movies like "Anatomy of a Case" and "Toni Erdmann". Her words of blessing for the ship and its crew echoed as it sailed towards the Mediterranean, a route often used by people from Africa seeking a new home in Europe.
