UN: Average of Nearly 1 Migrant Child Death Daily Since 2014 Associated Press GENEVA - The U.N. migration agency says migrant children have died or gone missing at the rate of nearly one per day worldwide over the past five years, with treacherous journeys like those across the Mediterranean or the U.S.-Mexico border continuing to take lives.
