The Journey from Syria: No Choice
The New Yorker featured filmmaker Matthew Cassel’s six-part documentary on a Syrian refugee’s 1,700-mile journey to Europe.
The International Organization for Migration reports an estimated 191,134 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2016 through 21 May, arriving in Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Spain. Deaths through 21 May this year stand at 1,370 on all Mediterranean routes, which is 24 percent lower than last year’s total of 1,792 through the same period.
