More recently, some 500 migrants died off the coast of Malta, when a group of human traffickers responded to the passengers’ refusal to move onto smaller vessels by deliberately ramming the boat that had carried them from Egypt. Less than a week later, dozens of asylum-seekers perished when their boat capsized near the Libyan coast.
最近，约500名移民在马耳他海岸离开了人世，运送他们的人贩因为这些非法移民不肯换乘小船而故意撞沉了载着他们驶离埃及的船只。短短一周后，另一艘船在利比亚沿岸沉没，船上的数十名寻求庇护者遇难。
