Global Refugee Crisis Deepens with Deadly Migrant Boat Capsizes.

A fishing trawler carrying over 750 migrants capsized in the Mediterranean, with over 500 believed to have perished, including women and children. The refugees were seeking to land in Italy, with many from Pakistan escaping poverty and political turbulence. The central Mediterranean is the deadliest known migration route in the world, with many shipwrecks going unrecorded. The tragedy reflects the ongoing worldwide refugee crisis, with over 108 million people forcibly displaced at the end of 2022. Pope Francis has called for nations to welcome migrants and asylum seekers. The Norwegian Refugee Council has released its list of the world's most neglected displacement crises, with Burkina Faso at the top.
