Mediterranean migration

Mediterranean migration refers to the movement of people crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach European countries, often fleeing conflict, economic hardship, or persecution in their home regions. This migration has increased in recent years due to instability in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Migrants typically undertake dangerous journeys in small boats or overcrowded vessels, facing risks like drowning or exploitation. Countries around the Mediterranean have struggled to manage these flows, balancing humanitarian concerns with border control. The migration highlights complex issues of global inequality, security, and human rights.
