Despite the fact that official statistics show the decrease in numbers of people reaching the European Union through the Mediterranean, asylum seekers go on this dangerous journey every day. Many don’t make it.
According to the UNHCR data 478 people have already been declared dead or missing in the Mediterranean since the beginning of 2022 until April 20th. We closed 2021 with almost 2000 deaths, which was not a big number compared to 2016. Over 5000 people died in the Mediterranean then.
One of the most difficult issues is the body identification of a deceased refugee. As many cross the sea alone and without any documents, their identification is almost impossible. In this episode of Fractured we cover the topic of deaths at sea and the introduction of a proper protocol for identification and burials in Greece based on “Even After Death” documentary produced in cooperation with @minorityrightsgroup.
