‘Origins’ by Amin Maalouf
Needless Human Tragedy at Sea
It is very shocking to read that civilians left to starve and die as they were hoping for a safer and better life somewhere else in a different part of the world.
No rescue effort was attempted to save the lives of 61 people who were left to perish, which included several women and young children in a boat which left Tripoli, Libya for safety in March this year to reach the island of Lampedusa.
