TL;DR Summary

A memorial was held in Lampedusa to remember the 368 migrants, mostly from Eritrea, who died in a shipwreck ten years ago while trying to reach Europe from Libya.

The day began with a candlelit vigil at the exact time the ship sank, and emotional stories of loss were shared by survivors and family members.
