The European Commission has allocated 2.4 billion euros to help countries address the hundreds of thousands of migrants making their way to Europe from Africa, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Human rights groups have called this the worst migration crisis since World War II. The Italian coast guard said it rescued more than 1,500 migrants on Monday alone. A Nigerian migrant spoke out on why he was forced to migrate to Europe.

Nigerian migrant: “I left Nigeria because of the crisis of Boko Haram. People, everybody knows about Boko Haram and their preys. I lost my family. My house was burning to ashes. So that is the reason that makes me ship to Libya. From Libya. I decided to ship to Italy.”
