More than 7,600 migrants died or went missing in 2025, says UN agency

At least 7,667 migrants died or went missing on migration routes worldwide in 2025, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Despite a decrease from nearly 9,200 deaths in 2024, the figures highlight a persistent crisis, particularly in the Mediterranean, where 2,185 deaths were recorded. The IOM calls for action to dismantle smuggling networks and enhance search-and-rescue operations to prevent further fatalities.
