schema:text	A post on Facebook claims to show a ship full of European refugees fleeing to North Africa during the Second World War. This is not true. The picture featured in the post was actually taken in 1991, and shows thousands of Albanian people boarding Vlora, a cargo ship bound for Italy, after the collapse of the Communist regime in the country. An image search for “Vlora ship” online reveals a number of colour photographs of the same scene, labelled correctly as showing the events of August 1991. Furthermore, Vlora was not launched until well after the end of the Second World War, in 1960. The pictures taken in 1991 have been used a number of times online in the past to spread misinformation about refugees. For example, it has been wrongly claimed that the picture was taken in 2015 and shows refugees fleeing Libya. It is true that thousands of European refugees were settled in camps in Egypt, as well as Palestine and Syria, during the Second World War, via a British-led scheme known as the Middle East Relief and Refugee Administration. However, the picture on Facebook does not show this effort.
