“I can’t stop myself crying,” says one of the 16 survivors of the Tunisian shipwreck that left more than 60 migrants dead
A Bangladeshi farmer watched dozens drown beside him in the Mediterranean before “God sent us the fishermen”, who saved him from the cold waters and took him to Tunisia.
The 30-year-old said he began his journey to Europe six months ago, flying with three others to Dubai and onwards to Istanbul in Turkey. Medical charity Doctors Without Borders estimates 6,000 migrants in Libya are being detained “in conditions that generally fall well below international standards”.
“He said we would have a better life and we believed him. I am sure most of the people he sends die on the way”, said Bilal. After seeing people drown in front of his eyes, Bilal said he “was losing hope myself, but God sent us the fishermen who saved us.”“If the Tunisian fishermen hadn’t seen them, there wouldn’t have been any survivors and we would have never known about this” boat sinking, said Mongi Slim from the Red Crescent.
