Such sad events. It is hard to imagine a worse way of dying.

I am reading a book that describes the fate of refugees fleeing the fighting during the Spanish Civil War. It is an eye opener, as previously I only knew the basic outline.

I'm afraid, across history, it was ever thus for refugees.

Added to that horror, is the fate of more lost at sea just on the news.sad

Horrible death, and of course the people responsible have no conscience about these things do they. How desperate these poor refugees must be to take their children into unknown territory like this, and a dreadful way to die.

I could hardly believe it when I looked at the news on my phone this morning to discover that 70 people had died in the back of the lorry in Austria. It's appalling, how can one human being allow this to happen to another?
