English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

The cruelty of human traffickers reaches unimaginable limits, claiming the life of a 2-year-old child thrown into the sea because of their crying.

## The barbarity of traffickers

The news of the death of a baby just **2 years old** is a brutal blow to the conscience. They were thrown into the sea from an immigrant boat by the traffickers themselves, who became enraged by the child's crying. This act of barbarity, which occurred in the context of migration routes, highlights the desperation and unscrupulousness of those who profit from human lives. The waters of the **Mediterranean** have become a graveyard for too many people seeking a better future.

## The business of desperation

Human trafficking is a multi-billion euro business that operates in the shadows. It is estimated that **incivil organizations** move billions of euros annually by exploiting the vulnerability of those fleeing war, poverty, or persecution. The price of a passage can amount to thousands of euros, and traffickers do not hesitate to use violence or abandonment to control passengers and maximize their profits. The death of this child is a direct consequence of this incivil network.
