If you are born poor, you stay poor, even if you work hard. I\u2019m responsible for my family as I\u2019m the only son, I have to provide for them and take care of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of my parents can\u2019t work anymore. My mother had a job in a garments factory but she became very ill and my father is too old to work. He is a good man and a good farmer but the work is becoming too hard for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My two sisters would like to study, in Bangladesh you can \ufb01nd a decent job if you get a school diploma. I don\u2019t want them to work in the \ufb01elds\u2026 but we have no money, we can\u2019t even eat properly.

We travelled through Dubai. When we arrived at the airport in Libya, we called a phone number which was given to us in Bangladesh, then some men came and brought us to a warehouse. We were told we would sleep there for 200 dinar per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mother was wrong, Libya is a dangerous place\u2026about 95&nbsp;% of bad people and 5&nbsp;% of good. I have spent one year there before the boat crossing. I worked in housekeeping with eight Bangladeshi, three Sudanese and four Egyptians. Our boss was a wicked man. He would not pay the wages. If you refused to work, he would beat you or threaten to kill you with a gun to your head. I worked for \ufb01ve months without being paid, I was originally promised 1200 dinar per month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-1030x1030.jpg\" alt=\"Paper boat\" class=\"wp-image-23611\" width=\"515\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-1030x1030.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513-705x705.jpg 705w, https:\/\/sea-eye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bangladesch_SEA-EYE-4_Sea-Eye_Seenotrettung_Mittelmeer_2_c_Fiona-Alihosi_20220513.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After some time, some of my friends began talking about going to Italy, getting a small boat with a few people, about twenty-\ufb01ve.

We called them for help. The captain of the cargo contacted the Italian coastguards, but they were 445 km away. We called several ships for help, but nobody answered. I prayed for our lives.
