À leur arrivée, elles étaient épuisées, déshydratées, transies de froid, avec des brûlures causées par le carburant et le soleil.

@DropSiteNews Two infants are among at least 53 people reported dead after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Libya, according to the International Organization for Migration. The rubber dinghy, carrying 55 people, overturned in the Mediterranean on Feb. 6 north of Zuwara after taking on water about six hours into the journey. Only two people survived, both Nigerian women rescued by Libyan authorities. One survivor said she lost her husband. The other lost her two babies. The boat had departed late Feb. 5 from Al-Zawiya. The wreck pushes the 2026 death toll on the Central Mediterranean route to at least 484 people, IOM said.

And my fourth time, we drowned And the fifth time, I made it to safety.' Somali refugee now in Europe. 'The real damage is done by those millions who want to "survive". The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don't want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves.'

If it doesn't happen I want you to write a book which tells my story, because the world's people need to read this story for their enjoyment.' Eritrean refugee in Libya.
