Photos of African migrants stepping over dead bodies after being rescued in the Mediterranean Sea


Hundreds of African migrants, from Nigeria, Somalia, Eritrea and other sub-Saharan countries, crammed in boats headed for Italy, were rescued in multiple operations on Tuesday.

More than two dozen people were dead in one boat alone, asphyxiated from the crush aboard. In other boats, bodies were splayed on the floorboards, forcing survivors to clamber over the corpses of their fellow voyagers. Over 11,000 migrants rescued in the Mediterranean by aid groups and the Italian Coast Guard this week. See full photo of the bodies after the cut.

    2. gory! looks like a slave ship with diarrhoea disease outbreak.

      Africans! oh Africans!!!... we don't value ourselves, thus, our lives/souls are just too cheap. As it was in 1816,so it is in 2016.

      Imagine, no words from the Nigerian governemt. No national strategy or policy. No committee set up, no federal or senate hearings. No media or public outcry. No data base, we don't even know who the refugees are, where they are from, who are their family members what is their story, real or fabricated...NOTHING!!!

  13. This is what our rulers in africa has put us under. They stole all the income meant for everyone and now, the people have no hope in the future in africa. So they become desperate and do everything to leave the africa shore. The solution is to remove all these satanic leaders and their families from the system and Rawlings method would be a good start
