Summary
Nutrition label
70% Informative
A video shows asylum-seekers from Africa being rounded up, having their worldly goods stolen from them and then left adrift in a rubber boat in the middle of the Aegean Sea.
The New York Times was able to verify the authenticity of the video, and track down the immigrants to get their stories.
They were the lucky ones — no one died.
