this feed documents incidents where immigrants have died while trying to enter Europe. the list is by no means complete as it only contains incidents that have been reported in the media. most of the deaths at the border never make it into the papers. also it only counts confirmed deaths while in incidents at sea (which make up the majority of the cases) there are often substantial amounts of people who are missing or unaccounted for. it is safe to assume that most of them have also died. http://www.noborder.org/dead.php feel free to resuse this content for any purpose 14 migrants from Africa are missing and feared dead after their boat capsized overnight in rough seas about 60 nautical miles off the coastal Spanish city of Motril.
