Drowning in Numbers: Europe's Migration Crisis by the Sea The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports a stark and heartbreaking reality: over 2,200 migrants have lost their lives or vanished at sea this year alone.
Despite a significant drop in crossings into Europe, these numbers paint a grim picture of a migration crisis that shows no signs of easing.
The Mediterranean and Atlantic routes have become death traps for migrants attempting to reach Europe. The IOM report highlights the Central Mediterranean route as one of the deadliest maritime routes in the world.
