Hundreds of children have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea.

 UNICEF announced the shocking death statistics of migrant children.

UNICEF has announced in a report that in the first six months of this year, more than 2,000 unaccompanied and separated children were sheltered on the island of Lampedusa through the "Protection" project managed by the Department of Migration and Home Affairs of the European Commission.  Is.

 This statistic was published following the news of another ship sinking in the Mediterranean Sea.

 The death of a pregnant mother among those who lost their lives yesterday off the coast of Lampedusa, Italy, brought a wave of emotion and sympathy among the countries of this region.

  An 18-month-old child who was traveling with his mother also died in this incident.

 During this event, about 30 people, including children, went missing.

  According to the UNICEF report, at least 289 children died or went missing while crossing the Central Mediterranean Sea to Europe in the first six months of this year.

  Many shipwrecks in the Central Mediterranean Passage leave no survivors or are unrecorded, so the actual number of child casualties is likely to be much higher than reported.

 European countries are seeking to find safer legal routes for migration and asylum in the EU and coordinated search and rescue operations to prevent a rise in deaths on sea routes.
