Towards better shores

As the crises in the Middle-east intensify, migrants have been pouring into the nearby Mediterreanean in search of a better life. Thousands from areas like Syria, Libya, Iraq and West Africa have left their homes, belongings and livelihoods to embark on potentially dangerous and mostly illegal journeys across the sea. There have been several boat accidents over the past couple of months, with several hundreds of these migrants dying or going missing at sea due to overcrowded boats - the latest one being the migrant boat that capsized near the Italian island of Lampedusa.
