The European Parliament has lauded a project that revealed a startling number of missing migrant children in Europe. The Lost in Europe project investigated the disappearance of more than 50,000 child migrants and found that, on average, nearly 47 migrant children arriving in Europe have gone missing every day since 2021. The investigation concluded that many of the missing children are victims of human trafficking; based on documentation inconsistencies, the actual number may be even higher. The findings are “just the tip of the iceberg,” said Aagje Leven, secretary general of Missing Children Europe. The three-month-long joint investigation by media outlets in seven countries received the E.U. Parliament’s 2024 Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism, named in memory of the assassinated journalist and anti-corruption activist.
