A tragic incident occurred in the Mediterranean Sea. A boat filled with migrants sank off the Libyan coast, resulting in 53 individuals either deceased or unaccounted for. Only two individuals were saved. The International Organization for Migration reports that the vessel left Al-Zawiya late at night and capsized just six hours later due to taking on water. The survivors, two women from Nigeria, suffered the loss of close relatives in this catastrophe. This incident highlights an escalating crisis along the Central Mediterranean route, recognized as one of the most perilous migration paths globally. Since 2014, over 33,000 migrants have either perished or disappeared at sea. Each statistic represents a personal narrative—a longing for safety and a quest for hope. Tune in to the complete video to gain insight into the events and the reasons behind the persistence of these perilous crossings.
