Survivors have told the International Organization for Migration (IOM) that the same men who had taken their money and agreed to transport them to Europe from Egypt turned against the crowded ship when passengers refused to transfer to a smaller, reportedly unsafe boat. At this point, the “smugglers” then deliberately rammed their own ship into the passenger vessel, causing it to sink and take hundreds down with it. According to one survivor, the three hundred passengers who were packed into the lower deck of the ship were trapped and drowned immediately. Others tried to hold onto debris and other flotation devices and reported seeing their smugglers laughing while watching the ship sink and dozens vanish into the sea. electronicintifada.net/blogs/charlotte-silver/hundreds-many-gaza-murdered-sea-smugglers
