500 migrants died, just like that. thats inhuman. someone is behind this.

Heartbreaking, we were ahead of the curve with this story, the BBC is running with it today, their coverage includes details such as the people smugglers using knives to hack at the hands of migrants trying to cling to the sides of the boat, and newborn dying in the water despite the efforts of the survivors to keep it alive.

How do we stop this, give would be migrants the hope that they can make better lives for themselves in their own countries.

someone must pay for this.
