"Remembering Lampedusa's Tragedy: A Decade Later, What Has Changed?"
TL;DR
A memorial was held in Lampedusa to remember the 368 migrants, mostly from Eritrea, who died in a shipwreck ten years ago while trying to reach Europe from Libya. The Lampedusa Coastguard organized a special trip to the disaster site for relatives and survivors, with horns and sirens sounding in memory of the victims. The day began with a candlelit vigil at the exact time the ship sank, and emotional stories of loss were shared by survivors and family members.
