We are deeply troubled by news of a shipwreck in the Central Med. #OceanViking reported to have rescued 25 people who left Zawya, Libya a week ago with approximately 60 more still missing. Urgent action is needed to strengthen maritime patrols and prevent further tragedies.

Reminder: no one should die in search of a better life. Even one death is too many #endmigrantdeaths
7⃣5⃣ people have already been reported dead or missing in the #CentralMediterranean since the start of 2024, according to @MissingMigrants. How many more tragedies will the #EU, including #Italy and #Malta, wait before investing in more search and rescue capacity at sea?

Today and every day, we call on states to support the efforts of humanitarian organizations & crews of commercial vessels to provide lifesaving assistance to migrants at sea, & refrain from criminalizing, obstructing or deterring the efforts of those who provide such assistance.

A great investigative article by @ce_tracey on @thebafflermag - ft. @agarciaborja - on the forensic anthropology work being conducted to identify migrants who lost their lives in the Texas borderlands. #Endmigrantdeaths
thebaffler.com
Migrant deaths are on the rise. One group is working to identify and repatriate the remains of migrants too often carelessly buried in the borderlands.

More than 53,000 people have died on migration routes since the adoption of the #SDGs. We hope the #SDGSummit this week will lead to stronger commitments from states to uphold the 2030 Agenda to reduce inequality and #endmigrantdeaths
📈🎯The 2030 Agenda triggered impressive progress in migration data methodologies globally. But there is still a long way to go. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) and migrant children, among others, remain invisible in the #SDGs as data on these groups is scarce. Learn
