A warning to our audience: The following story contains disturbing footage. In the Mediterranean Sea, at least 74 refugees have died in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya. A 6-month-old baby was among those who lost their lives. The baby died just hours after being rescued. This is at least the eighth shipwreck in the Mediterranean since early October. So far in 2020, about 575 refugees, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, have died in the Mediterranean while attempting to reach European soil; however, the real number is thought to be considerably higher.
