Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The [1]International Organization for Migration says migrant
   fatalities on the Mediterranean Sea separating Africa from Europe will
   top 1,000 this year.
   The numbers indicate the Mediterranean Sea crossing remains the
   deadliest known migration route worldwide. International Organization
   for Migration figures show 994 men, women and children making the
   perilous journey have died this year. With three months left, IOM says
   the final 2019 death toll is certain to exceed 1,000.
