Human lives piled on rotten barges and the holds of unsuitable ships, waiting when the door opens to face a better future in Europe, risking their lives.

The route followed by the fatal ship is considered a common route and is used more and more.

People who know exactly the routes of the slave traders explain how there are three different starting points…

From Syria, refugees and migrants are taken to Lebanon, Benghazi in Libya or the coast of Egypt. from there they board unsuitable ships trying to reach Italy via the Mediterranean.

A photo of a missing child, a message from Syria, the desperate efforts of a brother to find his brother… The faces of the tragedy are shocking.

As explained by Manolis Makaris, Professor of the Cardiology Clinic of Pylos Hospital, many people have flocked to Kalamata trying to find out where their relatives are.

He shows the messages sent to him by relatives of those who have not yet been found. It bends…

“Through a mobile application we were trying to communicate. They have bombarded my mobile and social media, they have sent me pictures of missing people. From Syria to Egypt, I tell them that I am a doctor, I cannot help them» he describes.

Exhausted, confused wrapped in blankets… The passengers may be at the port of Kalamata but their thoughts are still there. On the ship that changed their lives forever.

Children, young men, women, weak, in shock and weak are often transported by ambulance even in groups of two or three people to the hospital.

Even inside the hospital ward – castaways in shock – all they ask for is a sign that their people are alive.

They don’t stop looking to ask if anyone has seen their child, their brother, their uncle, those who were in the holds. Those who were traveling with them and lost in the wreck

They still can’t speak, they’re in shock, they feel like they’re still on the ship, they’re dizzy.

At the hospital today they are still trying to declare the people they were with and knew.

A castaway describes how he was traveling with 4 uncles and 2 cousins ​​whom he cannot find, he did not see them come ashore. They describe what they were wearing, what they looked like and he hopes to learn even the tiniest bit of information.

Survivors wonder where their people are, they go into the process of thinking about who they have to talk to.
