The Pakistani migrant exodus and the tragic Greece boat tragedy
The recent tragedy of a boat sinking near Greece, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Pakistani migrants, has highlighted the increasing number of people from Pakistan embarking on dangerous journeys in search of a better life abroad. Economic hardships, high unemployment rates, and political instability in Pakistan have fueled this exodus, with both the destitute and educated youth leaving the country. Human trafficking has become a thriving business, with fees ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. The Pakistani government is working to amend laws to punish those involved in this heinous act.
