The ongoing tragedy of migrant shipwrecks in European waters.

A fishing boat carrying up to 750 people sank off the coast of Pílos, Greece, with 78 confirmed dead and around 560 missing. The shipwreck is the result of Greek and EU practices and regulations that have made entering Europe and seeking asylum increasingly impossible, forcing people to take more dangerous routes. The EU has reduced access to asylum and made arriving on the continent ever more difficult, increasing policing and surveillance along its borders, erecting and expanding walls, and illegally pushing back thousands of people. The survivors of the shipwreck are being held in a refugee camp in Greece, and family members and loved ones continue to search desperately for news of those who are missing.
