Migrants Dying At Sea
移民海中求生存
A large multi-level ship of migrants attempting to reach Europe from Libya sank with hundreds of migrants on board this weekend. The number of dead and rescued is currently unknown, but a search and rescue operation is underway. Approximately 35,000 migrants have reached Italian soil via the Mediterranean Sea since the beginning of this year. Another 12,000 reached Greece. Hundreds, possibly thousands have also lost their lives in the attempt. The voyages are typically organized by human traffickers who promise to help desperate people find a better life. Human rights activists say that the Mediterranean is becoming a mass grave.
一艘載著數百名移民的巨型多層輪船正從利比亞駛向歐洲,途中輪船沉沒。死亡人數和救援情況目前還不清楚,但是救援搜救行動正在進行當中。從今年開始,大約有3萬5000名移民通過地中海踏上了意大利的國土。另有1萬2000人到了希臘。在這途中,有上百人可能是上千人失去了生命。這一行動是由偷渡販策劃的,他們保證讓他們過上更好的生活。人權積極分子稱地中海正在變成一個巨大墳墓。
