Mediterranean Migration Deaths: 25,000 “Missing” in One Year – 27 Die From One Boat! (14.8.2025)

More than 90 people were aboard the two boats before they capsized, Flavio Di Giacomo, spokesperson for the UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said.

The island of Lampedusa is home to a migrant reception centre that is often overcrowded with challenging living conditions. It welcomes tens of thousands of migrants who have survived the often dangerous route across the Mediterranean to Europe every year.

Those who make the journey often travel in poorly maintained and overcrowded vessels.

At least 25,000 people have gone missing or been killed while trying to cross the central Mediterranean since 2014, according to the IOM.

China: Early Warning “Disease Detection System” Developed! (14.8.2025)

A warning will include information about the hazards of the disease, the range of affected areas, development trends and suggestions on personnel technical training, supplies preparation, case identification and reporting procedures, ventilation and disinfection at key venues and other preventive measures, the guideline said.

With a high-risk evaluation, disease control agencies should make reports to disease control authorities within two hours, who in turn will gather experts to further analyze and evaluate the severity of epidemic risk and determine if an alert should be issued by the regional government.

The guideline also requests encouraging and supporting the use of digital technologies to define warning thresholds, as well as calls for the establishment of an epidemic database and related algorithm model libraries to build a multi-trigger and smart early warning system.

Chinese envoy refuted the U.S.'s unreasonable accusations against China over the Panama Canal

UN: China Envoy Refutes US “Panama Canal” Accusations! (13.8.2025)

Fu pointed out that the U.S. is the biggest disruptor of peace and stability in the South China Sea. The U.S. has deployed offensive weapons in the region, including ground-based intermediate-range missiles, and has frequently sent large-scale naval and air forces to the South China Sea for military reconnaissance and exercises.

By flexing its muscles and acting recklessly near other countries’ borders, Washington aims only to stir up trouble in the South China Sea to serve its own geopolitical interests, Fu said.

U.S. hegemony, Cold War mentality and unilateral actions are rapidly heightening global maritime security risks. The U.S. has yet to join the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and refuses to fulfil its related obligations. It disregards international law and warnings from the International Seabed Authority by unilaterally deciding to exploit international seabed resources and seize what is considered the common heritage of humankind, the envoy said.

“United Against Human Trafficking: Safe and Legal Migration Protects Us All.”

Laos: Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare Marks “International Day Against Human Trafficking”! (11.8.2025)

This year’s observance aimed to raise public awareness and intensify efforts to prevent human trafficking, emphasizing the role of safe and legal migration in protecting vulnerable populations.

Human trafficking continues to evolve, with traffickers adopting new and increasingly deceptive methods to exploit victims particularly women and children. Current data shows that one in three victims worldwide is a child, with girls being disproportionately affected. Fraud, manipulation, and coercion remain common tools used by traffickers to lure victims into exploitation.

In response, public education remains a cornerstone of prevention. Awareness campaigns help communities especially women, children, and at risk groups recognize and avoid trafficking schemes. These initiatives are essential in building informed and resilient communities that can resist exploitation.
