This footage is devastating!
Some of the 32 survivors while clinging to a capsized boat before being rescued last Saturday. They had witnessed 71 people vanish at sea and were feared dead.
It is a tragedy that should shame Europe.
📷Footage released by Sea-Watch shows migrants clinging to a capsized boat in the Mediterranean on April 4, as a merchant vessel approached to assist survivors.
Two bodies were recovered, and 32 survivors were rescued. ~71 others were lost at sea, feared dead, said survivors.

Hearing what is happening right now in #Ecuador with the #ParoNacionalEC. Hard to find mainstream outlets covering latest events. Saw what happened in 2019 and 2022, and now in 2025 seeing something similar.

Watching the game and as someone not from the #USA, was shocked but not surprised to see a CBP One Ad on #Univision about self-deporting and reinforcing the false claim that migration is associated with criminality …. #MariachiVsKpop

Just saw a photo that said, “We are the last generation whose parents were born [back home]”. This hit differently. Realizing that no one else will have stories from back home. But this was the point though? #Immigrants

El @GobiernoMX, a través de la @SRE_mx, expresa su gran consternación por la violación del acuerdo del alto al fuego y el reinicio de las hostilidades en Gaza, que han dejado más de 400 víctimas civiles, incluyendo mujeres, niñas y niños.
México condena la pérdida de vidas civiles inocentes y hace un llamado urgente al respeto del derecho internacional humanitario, al cese al fuego que permita el ingreso de ayuda humanitaria a Gaza, la liberación de los rehenes restantes y a retomar las negociaciones para una paz duradera en la región.
