全球移民死亡人数创历史新高
据国际移民组织（IOM）最新发布的数据，2023年全球至少有8565人在移民途中死亡，较2022年增长20%，成为有记录以来死亡人数最多的一年。
IOM表示，这些死亡事件发生在世界各地的移民路线，其中最致命的路线是中地中海（2159人死亡）、美墨边境（1534人死亡）和西非海上路线（710人死亡）。
IOM总干事安东尼奥·维托里诺表示，这些死亡事件是“一场全球性悲剧”，反映了移民面临的危险和绝望。他呼吁各国政府采取更多措施，确保移民的安全和人道对待。
数据显示，2023年移民死亡人数激增的主要原因包括：
* 冲突和暴力：许多移民来自饱受冲突和暴力困扰的国家，他们被迫逃离家园寻求安全。
* 气候变化：气候变化导致极端天气事件和海平面上升，迫使人们背井离乡。
* 贫困和不平等：贫困和不平等是移民的主要驱动力，人们希望在其他国家寻找更好的生活。
* 缺乏安全和正规途径：缺乏安全和正规的移民途径迫使人们采取危险的路线，例如穿越沙漠或乘坐不安全船只。
IOM敦促各国政府采取以下措施来减少移民死亡人数：
* 提供安全和正规的移民途径：这将减少人们采取危险路线的需要。
* 加强搜索和救援行动：这将帮助拯救移民的生命，尤其是在海上。
* 解决移民问题的根源：这包括解决冲突、暴力、贫困和不平等等问题。
* 尊重移民的权利：这包括保护移民免受暴力、剥削和歧视。
IOM还呼吁媒体和公众提高对移民死亡问题的认识，并促进对移民问题的同情和理解。

The number of migrant deaths worldwide has reached a record high, with atleast 8,565 people dying in transit in 2023, a 20% increase from 2022, according to the latest data released by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The IOM said the fatalities occurred on migration routes around the world, with the deadliest beingthe Central Mediterranean (2,159 deaths), the US-Mexico border (1,534 deaths), and the West African sea route (710 deaths).
IOM Director General Antonio Vitorino said the deaths were “a global tragedy” that reflected the dangers and desperation faced by migrants. He called on governments to do more to ensure the safety and humane treatment of migrants.
The data shows that the surge in migrant deaths in 2023 was driven by several factors, including:
* Conflict and violence: Many migrants come from countries affected by conflict and violence, forcing them to flee their homes forsafety.
* Climate change: Climate change is leading to extreme weather events and rising sea levels, displacing people from their homes.
* Poverty and inequality: Poverty and inequality are major drivers of migration, as people seek better lives in other countries.
* Lack of safe and regular pathways: The lack of safe and regular migration pathways forces people to take dangerous routes, such as crossing deserts or traveling on unsafe boats.
The IOM urged governments to take the following steps to reduce the number of migrant deaths:
* Provide safe and regular migration pathways: This would reduce the need for people to take dangerous routes.
* Strengthen search and rescue operations: This would help save the lives of migrants, particularly at sea.
* Address the root causes of migration: This includes addressing issues such as conflict, violence, poverty, and inequality.
* Respect the rights of migrants: This includes protecting migrants from violence, exploitation, and discrimination.
The IOM also called on the media and the public to raise awareness about the issue of migrant deaths and to foster empathy and understanding for migrants.
