The issue of migration presents a complex problem that intertwines economic interests, political challenges, and humanitarian concerns.
An incident that occurred with over 400 migrants on the island of Lampedusa on Friday reiterated the urgent need for international solutions to the problem.
Employees of the International Organization for Migration and the National Guard helped rescue 125 people who were on board a vessel that found itself in distress near the shores of the island. As a result of the tragedy, at least 10 people died.
Survivors recounted that they had set off from Tunisia two days ago and that among those on board were both adults and children. "Everything was bad. We were afraid for our lives," said one of the migrants, speaking about the harrowing journey across the Mediterranean Sea.
