Fifty-four people trying to reach Italy from Libya died of thirst after a 15-day voyage in which their rubber boat gradually deflated, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said, citing the sole survivor. It said the man, an Eritrean national, was rescued by Tunisian coastguards and was in a state of advanced dehydration, clinging to the remains of the boat after being spotted by fishermen the previous night. The man said he left Libya towards the end of June as part of a 55-strong group, half of whom came from Eritrea.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
