380 people missing in the the #CentralMed
They drowned while searching for a safe life
An iron boat with 61 people, exhausted from being at sea without eating for three days, some of them with hypothermia, was found by the Italian Coast Guard on January 22nd.
These people faced a cyclone that devastated the coasts of Southern Italy, Tunisia and Libya, with waves up to 10 metres high and wind gusts up to 150 kilometres per hour.
Two one-year-old twins travelling with their mother have been lost at sea. Shortly after disembarkation, one man died in the emergency room. His name was S. Dembele.
We mourn S. Dembele, these twin girls, and all the around 380 people that left Tunisia in the same few days, in other boats whose fate we have no knowledge of.
What we do know is that people keep dying at sea, with the complicity and the policies made by Italy and the #EU.
Rest in Power.
