1,500 Migrants Die While Crossing Mediterranean Sea In Seven Months by emmabasi(op): 10:12pm On Aug 05, 2018
1,500 Migrants Die While Crossing Mediterranean Sea In seven months – UNHCR

No fewer than 1,500 refugees and migrants have lost their lives Crossing the Mediterranean sea in the first seven months of 2018, the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) said.

The refugee agency said the bleak milestone was confirmed after more than 850 lives were lost in June and July alone, marking the Mediterranean crossing as the deadliest sea route in the world.

UNHCR said it was particularly concerned, as the rate of deaths was increasing.

In spite of the fact that total number of people arriving on European shores is significantly reduced compared to previous years.

Around 60,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean so far this year, about half as many as in 2017 and a return to pre-2014 levels.
