Maybe at some point they learn to use official checkpoints...

What a strange post description. Are they mentioning women and children because that somehow more tragic than if it had just been men?

It's a way to fire up emotions and tamp down any other discussion.

exactly, because here in Italy there are some incidents like this every year, so to try to make people less indifferent they count women and minors

Perhaps because actual women and children on these boats are rare. The vast majority are adult men.

There are almost always some women and people under 18, they just aren't the majority, which is also probably the reason for the careful phrasing in the article. "Among" and "Includes" implying without stating that it was a tiny minority of the whole.

I'm guessing men make up the rest.

I wasn't sure whether to have any sympathy for the dead - until you mentioned the women and children. Thanks so much for the clarification !

Women no, we live in an age of equality, but as a father of two hearing that children died really hits hard. Funny enough too, I wasn't as sensitive about the topic untill I became a father.
They are just children.

Do you want the collapse of every moderately disadvantaged nation? The population drain is real and only adds to growing inequality between nations. Supporting development in other nations through aid is the key, not sucking out their best.

Because men are treated as disposable in media, you all should already know this.

They board garbage boats on pourpose. If it is seaworthy they will be told to sail away. If it is an emergency then they get rescued.

Incredibly tragic to see so many die, condolences go to them and their families.
