This is real sad story of this morning news
At least 59 deaths including a baby in migrant boat tragedy off Italian coast
Fifty-nine people, including a newborn baby and other children, have died after a wooden sailing boat believed to be carrying refugees crashed against rocks off the coast of Italy’s Calabria region.
According to survivors, there were about 140 to 150 people onboard the boat. Eighty-one people survived, with 20 of them taken to hospital.
“It was a tragedy, this morning, to see those scenes of children given back from the sea, bodies, harrowing scenes,” said Antonio Ceraso, Mayor of Cutro.
Father Rosario Morrone, Parish priest of Botricello, visited the scene: "They have found two bodies also on the beach in my parish. I’ve blessed them but while I was blessing them I asked myself why do we always arrive after death? We should arrive before death.”
