I doubt many media outlets will feature this as there is no appetite for a story of this nature anymore. Yes that is callous but that does not make it untrue

20th April: '500 Migrants Drown When Ship Capsizes Off Libya In The Dark' - 9 POSTS.

21st April; 'Prince Dies Aged 57' - 122 POSTS.

Prince's death commanded 5 times longer airtime on the News Channels than the 500 Drowned Immigrants.

Perhaps these statistics may be pointers?

Terrible, it was on the BBC news yesterday, but they could not confirm what the survivors/witnesses said.
If it is the same situation, they said that the smugglers transferred 200 of so onto an already overfilled boat with 300 or more on board.
Absolute tragedy.
