The tragedy sent soaring this year's Mediterranean death toll which was by then around 1,500—10 times the deaths during the same period last year. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), between 23,000 and 24,000 migrants had tried to cross over to Italy since the beginning of the year, while just under 21,000 migrants made the journey in the same period in 2014. While the overall number of migrants rose somewhat, migrant deaths at sea skyrocketed.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV484-May-2015-" rel="directory">IV484 - May 2015</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Europe-+" rel="tag">Europe</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Migration-+" rel="tag">Migration</a>
