About 400 migrants have perished off the coast of Libya after the boat they were traveling in capsized. Rescuers managed to save 145 people, including at least one baby, but hundreds more appear to have drowned. In a statement, Amnesty International criticized European countries for their approach to the flood of migrants seeking to reach Europe, saying their “ongoing negligence towards the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean has contributed to a more than 50-fold increase in migrant and refugee deaths since the beginning of 2015.”
