3,500 Children Have Died in Last Ten Years Attempting to Cross Mediterranean: UNICEFApproximately 3,500 children have died or gone missing while attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea over the past decade, equating to one child death every day, UNICEF reported, specifying that about seven in ten make the journey alone or separated from their parents.In the same period, at least 20,803 people have died or gone missing on the Central Mediterranean maritime migration route.However, the actual number of victims may be much higher due to the many shipwrecks that leave no survivors and are therefore not recorded.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
