]]> The United Nations warns that the movement of people from Libya to Italy’s become the deadliest migration on earth.

The world organization says increasing numbers of of these people desperate to leave Africa are losing their lives in their quest to reach Europe.

The United Nations High Commission for Refugees says the death rate of people crossing from Libya to Italy is increasing.

More than 2 000 people have died this year making this journey.

UNHCR says the people traffickers are becoming more ruthless.

It says it needs $421 million to stop people attempting the crossing in unseaworthy boats and to crack down on the people traffickers.

It warns that refugees are imprisoned, beaten, robbed and raped by these traffickers.
