Migrants being rescued from wrecked ship 

In effort to cross to Europe from Libya, a ship carrying almost 239 migrants have died after the ship cap-side, United Nations migration agency confirmed on Thursday 2016.

The ship was of rubber and collapsed after few hours on top of the Mediterranean sea, Flavio di Giacomo and spokesperson of UN's International Organization for Migration said, they were able to get the facts from survivors. 

Out of the Migrants that lost their lives, twelve bodies were able to be recovered by rescuers, the rest already drowned, same goes the another rubber ship that got collapsed as well, was conveying about 130, only 27 survived the horrible accident and most were women ans kids.

The International Organisation for Migration said the latest deaths meant 4,220 lives had been lost in the Mediterranean so far this year, compared with 3,777 in the whole of 2015.

October saw a surge in migrant arrivals in Italy, with 27,388 arriving, more than the two previous Octobers combined, and bringing this year’s total arrivals to over 158,000, di Giacomo said.

The smugglers who arrange the journeys have told migrants that European training of Libyan coastguards means the rescue missions will soon be handed over to Libya and any rescued migrants will be taken ashore in Libya rather than Italy, di Giacomo said.

That was possibly causing the rush to board boats now, he said, although the information, gleaned from rescued migrants, was not confirmed.
