"The most deadly border in the world"

The UN believes that the shipwreck on April 18 will become the largest in the number of victims among illegal immigrants that sailed to Europe on the Mediterranean Sea

The surviving passenger of the ship sank in the Mediterranean with illegal migrants said that there were 950 people aboard. This was reported with reference to the prosecutor's office of the Italian city of Katania by La Repubblica.

According to the surviving citizen Bangladesh, among 950 people were 40-50 children and 200 women. Citizens of Algeria, Egypt, Somalia, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Zambia and Ghana sailed on the ship. For comparison: 1495 people died on the Titanic. The Prosecutor of Katania said that the testimony of the survivor must be checked. The Office of the UN Supreme Commissioner for Refugees said that this shipwreck would go down in history as the largest victims among illegal immigrants, trying to get to Europe in the Mediterranean Sea.

According to Interfax inormation, in 2015, more than 30 thousand non -menic migrants from North Africa arrived in Europe on the Mediterranean Sea, 900 of which (not counting the last disaster)) died along the way. The chairman of the European Parliament Martin Schulz called the southern border of the EU, passing along the Mediterranean Sea, "the most deadly border in the world."

The ship with migrants, according to BBC News , sank on April 18, 210 km from the Italian Island of Lamepaduza.

The New Times published a “promised rock” report to No. 36-37 (304) dated November 11, 2013 from the Italian island of Lampeza, which for thousands of illegal migrants from Africa became a gate to paradise called “European Union”.
