I can’t stop thinking about all the migrants who have died at sea and in other ways and how no one cares about them or their families. For thrills and coolness their ride was also not enjoyable.

7 days ago a boat carrying 750 refugees (100 were children) sank in Greece. The difference in accident coverage makes it clear how racist and elitist the media is. The passing of five white billionaires is more tragic than the deaths of hundreds of poor black immigrants pic.twitter.com/r6oDbajarJ

greece boat disaster

More than 80 bodies have been found after a migrant ship crashed in waters off Greece, marking it as one of the deadliest incidents in the Mediterranean in recent times. An estimated 750 people were on board a fishing boat that set sail from Libya with the intention of reaching Italy but unfortunately sank off the coast of Greece last week.

Pakistan is currently facing a severe economic crisis, the most severe in many years. The country’s efforts to obtain financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been further complicated by political instability within the country.

The large number of Pakistanis moving to Europe risking their lives in search of a better future has made a tremendous impact on the country. As a result, Monday has been declared a national day of mourning by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in memory of those killed in a boat sinking.

A boat carrying about 750 persons including men, women and children capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, resulting in hundreds of deaths. According to EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson, this tragic incident is one of the most devastating in the history of the Mediterranean Sea. This information was given by the United Nations Migration Agency (IOM).

Johansson expressed strong criticism of the actions of “smugglers” who facilitate the transport of people on these boats.

He insisted, “They are not sending them to Europe, but are driving them to their destruction. This is a reprehensible act and it is extremely important to stop it.”
