Migration is a challenging task that has been done all through history. Some people, like the Native Americans, are forced out of their home land and have to relocate in order to live. Others left from overpopulated cities to open land for better living conditions. Even though moving is sometimes beneficial in the long run, the process of doing it is very dangerous and can be deadly. Traveling a long distance can be overwhelming and supplies could run out before reaching the desired location.
Somalia's government announced that about 200 citizens drowned while crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The water vessel packed full with about 460 passengers capsized because of the choppy waves. They were crossing illegally but the rough journey was another example of how migrating is still a very dangerous task.

That's awful that so many people died while migrating, probably in search of a better life.
