Somalis drown trying to reach Europe

[InvisibleHand]

ROME Nov 4 (Reuters) - The Italian coastguard and navy recovered the bodies of three Somali nationals about 35 miles from the Libyan coast late on Saturday when the motorised raft they were using to try to get to Italy sank, the coastguard said.

Two coastguard boats and a navy ship pulled 70 other Somalis from the water, according to a statement sent on Sunday. The survivors and the dead were being taken to the Italian island of Lampedusa.

The coastguard, an Italian tug boat, and a navy helicopter are continuing to search for survivors.

Thousands of people have been killed attempting the dangerous crossing from North Africa to Europe in overcrowded and frequently unsafe vessels. In the past few years, Italy has become the main destination for maritime migration to southern Europe, which is usually from Libya. (Reporting by Steve Scherer; Editing by Andrew Osborn

They are dead tho.Hunger and poverty does make people make tough choices.

Actually poor and hungry people never reach there! How much does it cost to reach the coasts of N. Africa?

Why should any one gamble on their own life? Waxa aad nolosha u raadinee sow eyada ma ahan?

[Tuushi]

They invest everything they have and possibly dont have for a gamble of a better tomorrow.

I might never know their full reasoning or understand their logic,but those extreme lives are making them think irrational.
