Over 72,000 Migrants Dead, Disappeared Globally Since 2014: UN

  • More than 72,000 migrants have died or disappeared globally along migration routes since 2014, according to a UN agency report.
  • This high death toll results from people fleeing insecurity, conflict, humanitarian crises, and lack of safe options in their home countries.
  • The Central Mediterranean remains the deadliest route, with nearly 25,000 lost at sea, many after departing from war-torn Libya, alongside deaths of Afghans and Rohingya.
  • IOM chief Amy Pope called for global funding to enhance community stability and expand opportunities, aiming to make migration a voluntary decision rather than a last resort, and highlighted that many migrants remain unaccounted for due to gaps in data.
  • The true migrant death toll is likely higher than recorded due to data gaps, particularly in war zones and disaster areas, highlighting the need for safer, legal migration pathways.
