A story in Wednesdays Independent showing two young Roma Gypsy girls lying dead on a beach off Naples in Italy. Holiday makers walk by oblivious, uncaring, that there are two girls that have just drowned in the sea and left on the beach for three hours. The beach remained open and people carried on sunbathing. The photo of these two girls on the beach amidst holiday makers, someone was kind enough to donate their beach towels to cover them, has shocked Italy.

The girls had been trying to sell trinkets to holiday makers with their cousin. The girls went into the sea to cool off, unable to swim, when the current pulled them and smashed them into the rocks. The cousin was able to get out and raise the alarm, but it was too late for the sisters age 13 and 15.

The moral of this story is that Roma Gypsys are hated in Italy, and the photo has shocked the nation, realising what an uncaring, unhuman act this was.
