The next migrant big data website

IOM has published a new website regarding migration into Europe and the accompanying casualties or... in this case missing migrants. It is not the first website showing the casualties on the European borders. Nevertheless, it gives good insight into the problems ariseing from the strange mess European politicians make in the mediterranean.

At http://missingmigrants.iom.int, IOM shows: "Missing Migrants Project tracks deaths of migrants and those who have gone missing along migratory routes worldwide. The research behind this project began with the October 2013 tragedies, when at least 368 migrants died in two shipwrecks near the Italian island of Lampedusa. Since then, Missing Migrants Project has developed into an important hub and advocacy source of information that media, researchers, and the general public access for the latest information. Missing Migrants Project uses statistical data from governments and sources other agencies, as well as NGOs and media."
