Answer

What can Mallorca do to reduce deaths on the Mediterranean route?

The most immediate steps are better coordinated rescue operations, earlier detection of small boats and mobile medical support on the islands. Longer term, faster information exchange, DNA identification systems and legal pathways for protection would help reduce the pressure on dangerous crossings. The broader challenge is to combine rescue, prevention and humane policy rather than relying on emergency response alone.
