A Call to Action to Stop the Transport of Migrants to the EU

Caitlin Atkinson

There were 700 migrants on the boat that sank in the Mediterranean; only 28 people have been found alive. This tragedy as sparked verbal outrage about the human trafficking that is occurring because of the conflict in Libya. The Italian prime minister has called for a summit so the European Union can strategize about how to stop the migrant problem. Unfortunately, so far no action has been taken. Leaders have only responded with statements against human smuggling and the devastation it has caused. Action needs to be taken, but the course is unclear right now.
