UNICEF gave no separate number for children dying during the crossings, but said 11,600 unaccompanied minors were among migrants trying to reach Italy.
The UN refugee agency said on Thursday that some 186,000 migrants and refugees arrived in southern Europe so far this year, the vast majority in Italy.
Some 31,000 people were rescued at sea or intercepted, and disembarked in Tunisia while 10,600 disembarked in Libya, Menikdiwela said. The UNHCR figures she quoted were similar to those presented by Par Liljert, director of the International Office for Migration’s office to the United Nations.
