24 Dead Migrants in Turkey by Saul Flores

     Usually immigrants travel to another country seeking a new life, but unfortunately for these specific people, they lost their lives when their boat sank on their way to Romania and/or Bulgaria from Turkey. Turkish rescue authorities arrived at the scene in the Bosphrus strait and luckily found seven survivors. The incident happened this morning; rescue authorities continue their search, but have found no additional survivors. These typed of accidents have happened really often to migrants on boat ships, but they are usually rescued before any deaths. It is very unfortunate that the accident occurred a little further from their headquarters than usual.

     This is obviously very tragic, especially because they were really looking forward to living a new life in new land. The only positive way (if it's even possible) is that this sparked major air and sea rescue operation. They are finding new ways to help ensure the safety of travelers and immigrants.

  1. well, immigrants aren't legal and don't go to new countries through the government because they think that they aren't wanted by anybody.
