BERLIN – German activists on Thursday laid out body bags at Berlin’s central Brandenburg Gate, to draw attention to the plight of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean.
“Together for Africa”, the umbrella group of humanitarian organisations that staged the protest, said 23,700 migrants have drowned in the Mediterranean since 2000.

They said the conditions have to improve in order to alleviate the migration crisis that was gathering pace along the EU periphery.
