The year 2016 could be the deadliest so far in the migration crisis, according to figures from the International Organisation for Migration.
More than 3,000 migrants and refugees have perished so far this year trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe.
But many others are still willing to risk death in the search for a better life.
One migrant told her story to Orla Guerin in Tripoli.
