The Committee on Migration Issues of the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe releases a communiqué in which it expresses particular concerns about the fact that the victims of this tragedy include very young children. In its communiqué, the committee states that the upsurge in shipwrecks in the English Channel once again illustrates the difficulty of managing migratory flows in Europe, and that these tragedies should not continue to make the headlines.
