At least 82 people are believed to be missing and 10 have been found dead after three ships capsized in the Mediterranean Sea over the weekend, the latest tragedy to take place along the perilous path taken by thousands of desperate migrants every year.
The staggering number of missing in the June shipwreck brought to the forefront criticisms of Greece’s coast guard and Europe’s migration policy. European Union and European officials have held talks with Tunisian officials this summer aimed at stemming the flow of migrants from the country, which has overtaken Libya as the leading launchpad for migrant routes to Italy.
“The E.U. should suspend migration control funding to security forces and set human rights benchmarks for further support,” the report’s authors added.
