The Tragic Story of 750 Migrants on a Capsized Boat near Greece

As many as 750 migrants boarded a rickety blue fishing trawler in Libya to cross the Mediterranean and reach Europe, but the ship capsized on June 14, becoming one of the deadliest shipwrecks in the region. The migrants were escaping war, trying to earn money to support their families, or seeking medical treatment for their children. Many were from Pakistan, and their families are still waiting for news of their loved ones. The journey was organized by human smugglers, who treated the migrants like goods to be traded.
