From the BBC:
A 24-year-old Kurdish woman from northern Iraq has become the first victim of this week's mass drowning in the Channel to be identified. Maryam Nuri Mohamed Amin was one of 27 people who died while attempting to cross to Britain on Wednesday. Her fiancé, who lives in the UK, told the BBC she was messaging him as the group's dinghy started deflating.
She tried to reassure him that they would be rescued. But help came too late, and she and 17 men, six other women - one of whom was pregnant - and three children died after their inflatable boat sank into the sea off the northern French coast.
From VOA News:
"When she left Kurdistan, she was very happy, she couldn't believe that she was going to meet [him]," the woman's friend Imann Hassan was quoted as saying by the British broadcaster, which said her fiance already lived in Britain.
"She tried to live a better life, she chose the UK, but she died," Hassan added.
That sucks.
Subtle blackpill: notice how multiple news organizations have a detailed story written up about the life of a dead Becky, but not a peep about the lives of the 17 men who drowned in the same dinghy. Foid privilege.
