On the 11 of October some 500 migrants set sail from Zwara in Libya, to reach Europe. They are followed by Libyan guards that shoot at them. They manage to approach to Italy but the boat is damaged. Help arrives late and about 250 drown. Many children.
The survivors are rescued and distributed between Sicily, Lampedusa and Malta. Families are separated during the rescue mission. After their arrival in Italy, in the detention centre, Syrians claim to have news on their fellow migrants and relatives.
On the 23rd of October we met some of them and the day after we interviewed them. The person who speaks in the video is "Said", a name invented due to the fear of retaliation against the relatives who are still in Libya or in Syria.
