It is being called the worst migrant boat disaster in the Mediterranean Sea. Almost a week ago, a migrant boat carrying up to 750 people, 400 of them said to be Pakistanis, started to have trouble with its engine. After three days of being stranded, the boat capsized and most of the passengers died. In fact, all of them, except for 104, were rescued. Among the survivors were only 12 Pakistanis. The boat smugglers who run these migrant boats had promised their passengers passage from Libya to Italy. The accident took place off the shores of Greece.
It is very shocking to hear that the government of Pakistan is not providing jobs, as the unemployment ratio is increasing day by day, therefore all Pakistanis were compelled to leave their own country. It has not worth mentioning that it became a major issue for the country. We appeal to the government to have a quick positive response and help them the ones who are rescued.
