Migrants Dying At Sea
移民海中求生存
A large multi-level ship of migrants attempting to reach Europe from Libya sank with hundreds of migrants on board this weekend. The number of dead and rescued is currently unknown, but a search and rescue operation is underway. Approximately 35,000 migrants have reached Italian soil via the Mediterranean Sea since the beginning of this year. Another 12,000 reached Greece. Hundreds, possibly thousands have also lost their lives in the attempt. The voyages are typically organized by human traffickers who promise to help desperate people find a better life. Human rights activists say that the Mediterranean is becoming a mass grave.
一艘载着数百名移民的巨型多层轮船正从利比亚驶向欧洲,途中轮船沉没。死亡人数和救援情况目前还不清楚,但是救援搜救行动正在进行当中。从今年开始,大约有3万5000名移民通过地中海踏上了意大利的国土。另有1万2000人到了希腊。在这途中,有上百人可能是上千人失去了生命。这一行动是由偷渡贩策划的,他们保证让他们过上更好的生活。人权积极分子称地中海正在变成一个巨大坟墓。
