More than 30,000 migrants dead in Med since 2014

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 1 - More than 30,000 migrants have died in the Mediterranean since 2014, an Italian foundation said Tuesday ahead of the October 3 Day of Remembrance and Reception commemorating the 368 victims - including 83 women and 9 children - of the tragic shipwreck off the coast of Lampedusa on 3 October 2013.
    Since the beginning of the year, at least 1,452 migrants have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea or are missing, with a year-end projection of just under 2,000, said the Fondazione ISMU ETS on International Organisation for Migration data.
    In the last decade, it said, the number of minors dead or missing in the Mediterranean could be "over 6 thousand". (ANSA).
