Documenting Migrant Deaths at Sea
UNHCR reported recently that 1500 people “drowned or went missing last year [2011] while attempting crossings of the Mediterranean Sea.” The actual number may be even higher; a spokesperson for the agency noted that “Our estimates are based on interviews with people who reached Europe on boats, telephone calls and e-mails from relatives, as well as reports from Libya and Tunisia from survivors whose boats either sank or were in distress in the early stages of the journey.”
