Coast Guard: Migrants Protection

coast guard: Only eight bodies have been recovered, according to Brandon Sun. In his noon blessing, Francis recalled that the theme of the church's World Day of Migrants celebrated Sunday concerned the particular vulnerability of young migrants our young brothers who often flee home alone and face so many dangers. Italy's coast guard said only four people survived the sinking of a migrant ship carrying around 100 people that went down 30 miles 50 kilometres off the Libyan coast on Saturday. We must adopt every possible measure to guarantee young migrants protection and defence, as well as integration, he said. Aid groups say if these young people survive the crossing, they are particularly vulnerable to exploitation and abuse by land-based traffickers once they reach Europe. The U.N. refugee agency has reported a sharp increase in the number of unaccompanied minors reaching Italy 25,846 last year, more than double the previous year. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
