Nearly 8,000 migrants died or disappeared in 2025, IOM reports

Nearly 8,000 people died or went missing on migration routes in 2025, with over 40% of these incidents occurring on sea routes to Europe, according to the UN’s International Organization for Migration. The report highlights the phenomenon of “invisible shipwrecks,” where boats disappear without a trace. Although the total number of deaths decreased from a record high in 2024, the shift in migration patterns poses ongoing risks, particularly for vulnerable groups like Rohingya refugees.
