Migrant Tragedy

Recently, I came across a story that was truly heartbreaking in the world of global affairs. Here are the details of my research:

As many as 500 migrants may have died when a large ship sank in the Mediterranean between Libya and Italy, the United Nations refugee agency said. On Tuesday a U.N. team interviewed survivors of what could be one of the worst tragedies involving refugees and migrants int he last 12 months. The ship reportedly went down last week at an unknown location between Libya and Italy, the agency said 41 survivors (37 men, 3 women, and a 3 year old child were rescued by a merchant ship on Saturday and taken to Kalamata, Greece. Those rescued included 23 Somalis, 11 Ethiopians, 6 Egyptians, and one person from Sudan, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said.
