(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, have called for an urgent EU summit meeting in order to seek solution to the dire situation after the worst disaster in recent years occurred in the Mediterranean on Saturday night.
Only 28 migrants out of 700 seem to have survived by far after their boat capsized some 130 miles south of Lampedusa on Saturday night. This disaster follows another similar tragedy which took place last week, during which more than 400 migrants drowned after their vessel sank off the Libyan coast.
In these last days, Muscat, was reported by The Times of Malta to say that apparently, people are getting too used to these deaths, as if it is normal for hundreds of people to die in a shipwreck.
