Up to 1,000 people have gone missing at sea and are feared dead after a huge storm ripped through the Mediterranean last month.
The migrant-rescue non-governmental organisation (NGO) Mediterranea Saving Humans estimated the number based on testimonies from refugees in Libya and Tunisia.
Huge waves and gale-force winds caused by Storm Harry battered the coast of southern Italy, parts of Spain and the island of Malta, two weeks ago.
Now the NGO's president Laura Marmorale has described it as 'one of the biggest tragedies in recent years on the central Mediterranean route'.
She accused the governments of Italy and Malta of staying 'silent' and 'not moving a finger' to help rescue the migrants.

Obviously Trump’s fault.
Oh, that’s to bad.
Twenty years ago, I might have cared.
Now, I don't.
Stop breaking the law you shoe scrapings.
An NGO (axiomatically corrupt globalist pro-invasion) mad that sovereign nations won’t spend (excessive) time and money and risk of life to seek out invaders and ensure they get free everything and Italians to rape.
The EU is to blame.
If they wanted secure borders, migrants will stop making dangerous trips in the Mediterranean and the English Channel.
HAARP!
I’ve never heard of, or even thought of, a big storm system in the Mediterranean. I always think of it as always tranquil, (except for those Sirens in the Greek isles.)
They didn’t look at the weather before sailing?
Oh well...
Feeding the Fishes
I have no sympathy NONE!!!!
I hope the ocean is OK.
2000 years ago, the storm was called Euro Clydon
Fish gotta eat, same as worms.
So this NGO seduces refugee hordes to embrace the Sea under perilous circumstances and flimsy,
dangerous water craft, then cry that other countries are to blame when the sheisse hits the fan..
Got it.
“refugees in Libya and Tunisia.”
They wouldn’t lie, right?
...and their names will be on Medicaid claims filed by Somali businesses in Minnesota next week, and they'll be voting for Democrats this November...
