International Organization for Migration:
In the last 10 years, 64,000 refugees have died on the way to migration
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to the statistics of this organization, which was published on Tuesday, March 26 (the 7th of Hamal), 36,000 of these refugees drowned, 27,000 of them drowned in the Mediterranean Sea on the way from North Africa has died towards the continent of Europe.
The International Organization for Migration has said that these figures may be "a fraction of the true number" of migrant and refugee casualties, as much of the information on the matter is incomplete, according to the agency.
Andrey García Borja, an intelligence analyst at the International Organization for Migration, told reporters in Berlin that the Mediterranean Sea is "an extremely dangerous area, and travel along this route is extremely dangerous."
Borja said that the statistics of casualties in the Mediterranean Sea are more accurate and close to reality compared to other regions, because according to him, it is very difficult to collect information and verify and monitor it in areas like the African Sahara.
He added that the identity of two-thirds of the victims was unknown, and according to him, in more than half of the cases, the employees of the International Organization for Migration were not even able to establish the gender or age of the deceased asylum seekers or migrants.
Most of these immigrants are from poor and war-torn countries, who take risky migration paths to escape violence or a better life.
According to the statistics of the International Organization for Migration, more than 8,500 migrants and asylum seekers will have died in 2023, which is the deadliest year for migrants in the last decade.
