Malta: Refugees Dying at Europe's Doorstep
Australia for UNHCR
Description
Angelina Jolie, UNHCR's Special Envoy, travelled to Malta and met three people who risked everything to reach safety. More people than ever before are risking their lives in search of safety - more than 207,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean since the start of January. UNHCR has received information of 4,272 reported deaths this year, including 3,419 on the Mediterranean – making it the deadliest route of all. The UNHCR has warned that the international community is losing its focus on saving lives amid confusion over how to respond to the growing number of people making risky sea journeys in search of asylum or migration.
