Missing Migrants

2024

This data portal from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) tracks migrant deaths along popular migration routes globally. The Missing Migrants Project tracks incidents involving migrants, including refugee and asylum seekers, who have died or gone missing while migrating internationally, with the total number being nearly 3,700 in 2020. The highest number of migrant deaths have occurred along the Mediterranean, where more than 1,400 people have died or have gone missing. Missing Migrants tracks numbers by month, by region, by region of origin, and top causes of death—all of which are easily accessible on the site. Publications from Missing Migrants can also be found alongside the interactive map.
