FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “‘Families have a right to know’: The effort to identify migrants lost at sea • FRANCE 24” – below is their description.
The #Atlantic crossing to Spain’s Canary Islands is one of the most common, as well as most dangerous, routes used by #migrants trying to reach #Europe. So far this year, 937 people have died or gone missing on such voyages, a fivefold increase from 2019. For worried relatives, trying to find information about loved ones lost at sea can be almost impossible. Now though, some NGOs are running programmes to help families trace those who have gone missing, though doing so is an immense challenge.
