Mourners attended the March 16 funeral of a Pakistani female field hockey player who died in a migrant boat crash off Italy’s coast last month. The boat carrying the athlete, Shahiza Raza, 27, and 170 others set sail from the Turkish port of Izmir last month. It broke apart in rough waters off Calabria, killing Raza and at least 66 others. Raza's family said the athlete attempted to emigrate to Europe to find a good job and earn money for the treatment of her disabled three-year-old son. Raza's funeral took place in the southwestern Baluchistan Province's capital, Quetta. To read the original story by AP, click here.
