CAIRO — Jun 22, 2018, 4:56 AM ET

The U.N. refugee agency says survivors have reported that some 220 migrants drowned off the coast of Libya in recent days and is expressing shock at the mass drownings.

A statement by UNHCR released on Thursday said the migrants drowned in separate incidents earlier this week. The agency has also called for "urgent international action to strengthen rescue at sea efforts.

UNHCR says the latest fatalities bring the migrant death toll in central Mediterranean to over 1,000 so far this year.

Of course the migrants themselves, and the nations from which they originated, and from which they shoved off to sea, bear no responsibility.

Several million already reside in Europe, unemployed, welfare, cking skills or interest in adopting European values, customs, language or civil lifestyles.

They rape German and Swedish ladies, and claim they know no better than to do so
