Human traffickers have no compunction if human lives are lost in their selfish pursuit of money
KARACHI: A boat carrying migrants off the coast of Libya is believed to have capsized, drowning all the 90 people on the boat. The migrants are said to be crossing the waters via the extremely dangerous sea route into Europe. This is among many incidents when migrants trying to reach their destinations illegally drowned at sea.
This shows that human traffickers are active. They have no compunction if human lives are lost in their selfish pursuit of money. Despite actions by security forces of many countries, people’s smugglers continue to attract hordes of those hopeful of a better future.
