The desperate need for the world to pay attention to the unbelievable dangers asylum seekers face grows more apparent with every mass drowning. Dozens of people are feared dead after a wooden boat packed with asylum seekers was wrecked as it reached Australia's Christmas Island territory in heavy seas.
The boat is thought to have come from Indonesia carrying refugees from Iraq and Iran, and to have been heading for the main Australian offshore immigration detention centre.
Thousands of asylum seekers drown every year all over the world trying to escape persecution, but it's rarely captured on video.
