Libya has recently been brought to the screens, mostly on social media, following claims of a slave trade boom, alleged killings of migrants and human trafficking going on in the country.

The video shows the sorry state of the migrants in Libya, as many have not had their bath for weeks. No food, no water, no job, and yet no freedom to continue their journey to Europe.

But one of the migrants says, they had rather die in the sea trying to cross to Europe than stay in Libya. She said they (Migrants) have accepted their fate on their migration to Europe through dangerous seas.
