In the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, a haunting question lingers: \u201cWhat happens to the bodies of migrants who die during their risky journey?\u201d The answer is a sad reality; when they reach land, there are standard, impersonal, cold, and inefficient procedures. These bodies, each holding untold stories, are given a number that connects to their grave. But behind this seemingly usual process lies a deep tragedy and complexity in the migration routes across the Mediterranean.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn search for a safer life\u201d
<\/strong>Since 2014, there have been 28,260 recorded cases of missing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, which hosts three distinct migration routes; the Eastern, Western, and the deadliest of all, the Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Central Mediterranean route stands as the deadliest migration route globally, with over 17,000 deaths and disappearances recorded by the Missing Migrant Project (MMP)<\/a> since 2014. The remains of more than 12,000 people have been lost at sea on this route alone. Yet, it is likely that many more deaths remain unrecorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These numbers highlight the need to tackle the complexities of migration and join forces against the human cost of this crisis. \u201cJourney of Resilience\u201d not only tells Angelo Milazzo\u2019s story, a Sicilian policeman with unique ways of comforting the grieving. It also serves as a strong call for empathy, understanding, and collective action in challenging times.
