This keeps happening all the time and when you look at the hardships these people go through its incredibly pathetic.

The Syrian refugees were fleeing war and turmoil, and that is true as well for some of the Africans. But for the most part these are people from backgrounds where they can thrive, but decide to throw it all away for a chance that might or might not pan out.

In two migrant disasters within the past day, an abandoned truck found near the Hungarian border by Austrian officials was found with the decomposing bodies of 71 people inside.

Officials believe the migrants were being smuggled from Syria and might have suffocated in the truck.

The victims included 59 men, eight women and four children who are thought to have been dead for about two days.

Police in Hungary say they have arrested four people – three Bulgarians and one Afghan – linked to the lorry.

In the other tragedy, At least 76 people have died and up to 200 are feared drowned after a ship carrying hundreds of migrants sank off the coast of Libya.

“Until now 76 bodies have been retrieved from the sea and 198 people have been rescued” from the boat which sank on Thursday, Mohammad al-Misrati, spokesman for the Libyan Red Crescent told AFP.

One of the boats was relatively small and carried around 50 migrants, while the other had more than 400 people on board.
