The complicated spider web of international migration 232 million "international migrants" in the world (defined by the UN as people who have lived a year or longer outside their country of birth) (2013). This figure includes refugees, asylum seekers and economic migrants - anyone who has crossed a border, legally or illegally, to escape disaster or persecution or simply to pursue a better life.

Cause, Effect and Response Read through your cards and try to sort them into these three categories: CauseEffectResponse

How did you do? CAUSEEFFECTRESPONSE Conflict in Syria and Afghanistan has caused many people to migrate. The body of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi and his five-year-old brother are found washed up on a beach in Turkey having drowned. In the UK councils have offered to help refugees, with Kingston council offering to take 50 people. Also, Bob Geldof has even opened his Kent and London homes to four refugee families. Terrible human rights in Eritrea makes people flee the country. 2,600 migrants have died this spring and summer attempting the dangerous journey across the sea - many of them drowning or suffocating in holds of ships. Authorities in bankrupt Greece have looked the other way as migrants slip out of detention camps and head to the richer European countries. Europe is a virtually borderless land mass. Over 2,000-5,000 migrants have reached Calais. Hungary has built a razor-wire fence to keep them out. The British Red Cross believe that migrants want to gain a better life in richer countries such as the UK and Germany. Migrants in Calais try to get to the UK by stowing away on lorries bound for cross- Channel ferries or the Eurotunnel and some even try to hide on Eurotunnel trains. In April EU leaders pledged to improve patrols in the Mediterranean Sea in order to capture and destroy boats before migrants board them. Warm temperatures and calm waters lure thousands of migrants each day across the Mediterranean Sea in the hope of a better life. Aid workers say living conditions for migrants in Calais have worsened with a lack of food, blankets and shelter, causing tension to grow between the migrants, locals and police. Over 500 French have signed up to a bed and breakfast website offering refugees, whose asylum requests have been accepted, a roof for at least two weeks. Persecution of people in Syria at the hand of ISIS leads to large numbers of people leaving Syria. Europe faces worst migration crisis since World War II – with thousands of migrants heading for Germany and other richer countries. Britain has donated more than any other European country to Syrian refugees - over £900 million.
