26 teenage girls were found dead and recovered from Mediterranean sea on Sunday. Girls were aged between 14 to 18 and said to be migrants from Niger and Nigeria as per CNN. Currently autopsies are being done to identify if these girls were sexually tortured or abused.
Many people flee from sub-Saharan countries like Ghana, Sudan and Nigeria to European shores for better economic opportunities. According to International Organization for Migration had reported that 2839 migrants have died in this central Mediterranean route since the start of this year. But why only the teenage girls were found dead this time?
