There have been a series of shipwrecks with up to 700 migrants feared dead north of Libya on their trip to Italy on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. This is significant, as there was a recent international agreement to curb the number of refugees to Greece, and now there are going to be a large number of migrants traveling to Italy now.
Cumulatively, the total number of rescues of refugees in this area has reached an astonishing 13,000 this week. These are numbers that are capable of raising eyebrows on an international spectrum, which could lead to international help for these migrants to have a safer voyage to Europe.
