Boat of death: photos showing how migrants are fighting for dear life
Over 1,800 migrants packed themselves onto one boat Thousands more migrants have been rescued in the Med in what is fast turning in to be one of the busiest weeks for patrol crews. Their last moments were spent gasping for air inside a wretched ship which was meant to take them to safety. Instead it delivered a horrible death. Rescuers came too late to save the desperate migrants seen in these pictures, but they were able to help hundreds of others.
