This video is called Italy: Lampedusa boat sinking: fishermen ‘prevented’ from rescuing migrants.
If you are an African refugee from war in Somalia … or war in the Central African Republic … or war in Mali … or still continuing war and/or racist persecution in Libya … and you manage not to be imprisoned in a torture jail in Libya … then you may still die in a horrible way.
From Al Jazeera:
Dozens of migrants drown off Libya

At least 40 people have died and 51 have been rescued after a boat carrying migrants sank off Libya‘s coast.
Rami Kaal, a spokesman for the Libyan Interior Ministry, told the Reuters news agency the boat sank in waters east of the capital Tripoli.
Libya’s porous borders with its sub-Saharan neighbours and its proximity to Italy and Malta across the Mediterranean have made the North African country a common transit route for migrants trying to reach Europe.
