40 migrants, mostly Africans and Syrians, drowned after a boat
carrying them to Italy deflated in the Mediterranean sea on Sunday May
3rd. This comes few weeks after over 700 migrants drowned in the
Mediterranean sea, a situation described as the worst massacre ever seen
in the Mediterranean.
According to international aid
organization, Save the Children, survivors from the incident said they
were 137 onboard the boat and as they got to Sicily in Italy, their boat
deflated. Some of the boat occupants who could not swim, jumped
into the sea and drowned.One of the survivors, Astoy Fall Dia from Senegal, told AP she managed to survive because she knew how to swim and held on to the dinghy(boat).
"There was the big ship there and they threw down ropes, someone grabbed on to the rope, all the other people started pushing to try to save themselves but then people started falling in the water."she saidAt least 1,829 people have died so far this year trying to cross the Mediterranean.

Rip to d dead
Europeans are deflating these boats, killing innocent pple. Why must this always happen on their coast? considering how far these pple have traveled from. The blood of these innocent pple will be their head and that of their children. The wrath of God is surely coming if indeed this is true.
