Data from a new report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Mixed Migration Centre (MMC) highlights the often under-reported perils facing vulnerable people on the move on dangerous land routes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of their status, migrants, refugees, seem to face serious human rights violations and abuse along the route &#8230; we cannot lose our capacity to get outraged by this level of violence,\u201d said Vincent Cochetel, UNHCR Special Envoy for the Western and Central Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>More people are estimated to cross the Sahara desert than the Mediterranean Sea and deaths of refugees and migrants in the desert are presumed to be double those at sea. The report &#8211; \u201cOn this journey, no-one cares if you live or die\u201d \u2013 spans a three-year data collection period and warns of an increase in the number of people attempting these perilous land crossings.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting that the central Mediterranean migration route continues to be among the deadliest in the world, IOM Director of the Coordination Office for the Mediterranean Laurence Hart noted that \u201ca very high number of people\u201d still take the risk of embarking on \u201cvery dangerous journeys. Obviously, there&#8217;s a lot of people do not choose to move, but they are pushed because of \u2026 political conflict, instability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So-called push factors on the migration route include the deteriorating situation in countries of origin and host countries \u2013 such as new conflicts in the Sahel and Sudan \u2013 the devastating impact of climate change and disasters on new and protracted emergencies in the East and Horn of Africa, as well as racism and xenophobia towards refugees and migrants. Huge gaps in protection and assistance prevail across the Central Mediterranean route, pushing refugees and migrants to move onward on dangerous journeys, the report notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust last week, we heard that 5,000 people died on the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands in the first five months of this year &#8211; that&#8217;s an increase of 700 per cent compared to the same period last year,\u201d said Bram Frouws, Director of MMC. \u201cWe also know even though we don&#8217;t have fully accurate numbers, and indeed it is an underestimation that countless others die on the land routes, up to the Mediterranean coast, possibly even more than at sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/07\/1151796\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/07\/1151796\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/refugees-migrants-face-violence-abuse-and-death-on-routes-across-africa-new-data-shows\/\">Refugees, migrants face violence, abuse and death on routes across Africa, new data shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,15193,7235,4006],"class_list":["post-132218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-face-violence","tag-migrants","tag-refugees"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132218\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
