Re: Unstoppable migration?

Quote:
Survivors from a boat which capsized off the Egyptian coast on Wednesday have told the BBC that hundreds of people may have drowned.
The boat was carrying about 550 migrants when it capsized eight miles (12km) off the coast, they say.
Authorities have rescued 163 people and recovered 42 bodies so far off the port city of Rosetta.
Four suspected traffickers have been detained, according to the AFP news agency.
They are accused of involuntary manslaughter and human trafficking, judicial officials were reported as saying.
The incident came after the EU's border agency warned that increasing numbers of Europe-bound migrants are using Egypt as a departure point.
The UN says that more than 10,000 people have died crossing the Mediterranean towards Europe since 2014.

Yet more hundreds to add to the thousands who die traipsing across the Sahara for example in order to find a welcome where there isn't one. We really need to get a grip and either decide we're going tp tackle these problems at source or accept a never ending and ever increasing trail of misery and death as more and more people convince themselves that the solution to their problems lies in the hands of people traffickers.
