There’s a very serious crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. Right now, a mother is placing her young children, who can’t swim, in an unsafe rickety boat. A family who survived bombs falling on their war-torn home is placing their safety and future in the hands of smugglers.
Already this year, hundreds of people fleeing violence and persecution have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea. These are only the deaths that have been reported — the real figure could be much higher.
USA for UNHCR is deeply worried about refugees who are forced to make desperate journeys across the Mediterranean Sea in search of safety. They are without protection, resources or guidance — all they have is their hope. There must be safe and legal pathways for refugees to reach safety.
