Migrant deaths are “vastly under-reported”
The majority of migrant deaths are unrecorded, according to a new report which calls for “significant improvements” to be made in order to capture the true number of deaths which occur during migration worldwide. The report, the second part of “Fatal Journeys Volume 3: Improving data on missing migrants from the International Organization for Migration, follows a series of deadly incidents, including in the Mediterranean and at the border of Bangladesh from neighbouring Myanmar. More than 500,000 people have fled their homes in Myanmar, with thousands attempting to reach Bangladesh by boat across the Andaman Sea.The Mediterranean crossings, which have claimed the lives of 15,000 migrants since the crisis hit the headlines in October 2013, are just one example of the many migration routes that see numerous fatalities each year. http://bit.ly/2AbFYNX
