STOCKHOLM / ROME, Dec 6 2019 (IPS)* – While opening a newspaper or watching a TV program we are every day made aware of the plights of irregular migrants. Some recent examples among many – on 24 October, 39 Chinese nationals were found dead in a lorry trailer in Essex. They had apparently frozen to death within a refrigerator container with temperatures as low as -25C (-13F).
This while tragedies occur almost daily on the Mediterranean Sea. On 26 November, a rescue vessel found a boat almost completely sunken.
It had three dead bodies aboard. Fifty-five migrants were saved.
Three of them were in a critical condition, and one died after reaching Melilla in Spain, where the migrants were brought in.
Three children were among the survivors, though a further ten individuals were reported missing. Nowadays, such news items pass by almost imperceptibly.

6 December 2019 (WHO)* — Measles is preventable by vaccination, and between the years 2000 -2018, immunization against measles alone is estimated to have saved around 23 million lives.
