Two Nigerian Kids Crying After Losing Mum At Sea On Their Way To Europe

Two Nigerian children were pictured crying profusely
in photos gone viral after losing their mum on their
way to Europe from their overcrowded boat off the
coast of Libya while trying to cross the
Mediterranean Sea into Italy.

In a bid to escape the crippling economic
conditions in Nigeria, countless Nigerians on a daily
basis embark on a journey to Europe, through the
back door, and while many make it, for many
others, it is their last journey before finding cold
solace among the sea beds of the Mediterranean
sea except if their corpses are recovered.

In some heartbreaking photos making rounds online
and social media, two Nigerian siblings aged 10
and 11, recently lost their mother on one of those
ill-fated trips embarked upon by African migrants to
Europe.

The pair, whose collective anguish, was captured on
camera, were among 150 migrants recently rescued
from an overcrowded rubber boat along the coast of
Libya as they attempted to transverse the
Mediterranean into Italy.

The heartbreaking photos shows the sibling's pain
as they cried their lungs out just as they sought to
console one another.
