ພວກຄ້າມະນຸດ ໃນທະເລເມດິເທີເຣນຽນ ທຳລາຍໄດ້ຫລາຍຕື້ໂດລາ:
Nearly 100 migrants from Somalia, Egypt and Sudan are the latest group rescued at sea by Italian crews while trying to reach Europe.
Authorities say the migrants, including a dozen unaccompanied minors, arrived at an Italian port on the island of Sicily Wednesday night. ((: 13))
"They said it was very rough, they were out at sea for about 12 days, they estimated, and for two of those days the boat stopped and was not working, and they ran out of water and they were even drinking salt water. They weren't able to be hydrated in that time, so until the boat was going again, they were completely stuck for two days." ((:17))
The recent surge in migrants risking their lives to reach Europe has set off a debate on how to stop the exodus.
France's President (Francois Hollande) has said he wants a U.N. resolution authorizing the EU to destroy boats used by people smugglers to ferry thousands of migrants from North Africa to Europe.
But the president of the Italian Red Cross (Francesco Rocca) warned that suggestions of bombing traffickers' boats before they are loaded with migrants is not a solution. ((:31))
((SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH Francesco Rocca- President of the Italian Red Cross (& Vice President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
"For us it is not a solution -- bombing the boats. This must be very clear, because the traffickers will find other routes. We cannot forget that other routes are coming from Turkey -- from the Aegean Sea. Even some of them try to reach the Greek islands -- swimming." ((:21))
Rocca says the current migrant situation is not a crisis, but in his opinion, the continuation of governments not responding to a decades old delemma.
With no immediate plan to disrupt the the flow of migrants to Europe, the EU has decided to triple search and rescue operations after being criticized over its response to the migrant crisis.
The pledge came as more migrants rescued at sea arrived in Italy, and funeral services were held for some of the 900 migrants who drowned when their ship capsized off the coast of Libya several days ago.
