Inside the world's most dangerous migration route
The Central Mediterranean sea has been the world's most dangerous migration route for years.
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) over 20,000 people have died or disappeared there since 2014, with more than 90% of deaths due to drowning, an average of six per day.
On the 13th of December 2022, LIFE SUPPORT, the EMERGENCY NGO ship for Search and Rescue (SAR) sails from Genoa for its first mission in the Central Mediterranean sea.
From the 1st of January to the 27th of March 2023, 26,927 people arrived in Italy.
Three times more than in the same months of 2022.
In the first three months of this year, 499 human beings were found dead or missing.
