EU launches naval operation to combat human trafficking in Mediterranean

The European Union is launching a naval operation Monday to curb human traffickers bringing migrants to Europe by dangerous trips across the Mediterranean in unsafe boats.

Around 2,000 people have died this year in attempting to reach European shores, but many others continue to make the treacherous journey.

Over 100,000 migrants have survived the trip to Europe this year, causing Italy and Greece to be inundated with asylum seekers
