Locations:

Straight of Gibraltar

- 9 miles separate Northern Morocco and the South of Spain. Migrants often cross on self-made rafts or inflatable boats that are extremely dangerous in the unpredictable waters of the merging Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean sea. Boats crossing the straight are difficult to track with the radar technology used by rescuers. A lot of the migrants are children and women who often can not swim. Sub-Saharan Africans and Moroccans are a bulk of the migrants that cross the Straight of Gibraltar.

Mine Fields between Greece and Turkey

- 6.8 mile long militarized section of the Greece and Turkey border that is the result of a conflict between the two countries over Cyprus in 1974. The stretch of land contain 25,000 antipersonnel and antitank mines.

Indian Ocean

-Bay of Bengal

-Since 2012 around 120,000 migrants have crossed the Bay of Bengal. Thailand and Malaysia are a high percentage of the destinations for these migrants with a large proportion of the migrants fleeing the Rohingya conflict in Myanmar.
