U.N. Says Record Numbers Trying and Dying to Reach Europe
2014-12-11
In down economies, those who can go where there is some possibility of a chance of a better life.
[AnNahar] More than 3,400 people have died in the Mediterranean this year trying to reach Europe, the U.N. refugee agency said Wednesday, urging governments to take more action to save lives.

More than 207,000 people have made the risky sea crossing since January, almost three times the previous high of 70,000 during the Libyan civil war in 2011, the UNHCR said.

Of these, a record 3,419 died, out of a total of 4,272 reported deaths worldwide on migrant vessels this year.
