This Nigerian lady based in Italy is mourning her friends who died while trying to get to Europe through the mediterranean sea.
Despite several warnings, people are refusing to heed to it and will attempt this dangerous endeavor to reach the ‘promised land’.
The first few months of this year have been “particularly deadly” for migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, the United Nations said, as Libyan officials admitted that they were powerless to stop the tide of humanity leaving the country’s desert shores.
More than 2,500 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean in rubber dinghies and rusting fishing boats so far this year, the UN’s refugee agency said in a report released on Tuesday.
That number represents a significant increase compared with the same period last year, when 1,855 migrants lost their lives after their boats capsized and sank. In 2014, the figure for the same period was just 57.
