The last time Sabah Abd Rabu Hussein heard from her son, Yahia Saleh, he was planning to board a migrant vessel from conflict-ridden Libya to Europe. That was two weeks ago.
“I had begged him not to go,” the Egyptian housewife said Sunday, “but he became fed up with our difficult conditions.”
Like many other relatives, Saleh’s family doesn’t know the fate of their son. He was the second of four children born to a family of farmers and left home less than a month ago without telling them about his plans. Greek authorities arrested nine Egyptian men and charged them with people smuggling and participating in a criminal enterprise in the days following the wreck.
“The village is wounded,” said one villager, Sameh el-Gamal. “It’s a catastrophe. Each family has a funeral.” A day later, the parents found out that he traveled to Libya with his cousin and four other men. He had borrowed around $50 from a villager to pay for the trip. The five traveled first to the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and then to the coastal town of Salloum on the border with Libya. There, traffickers smuggled them across.
