IOM Data Shows 2024 Is Deadliest Year for Migrants
(MENAFN) In 2024, at least 8,938 people lost their lives while attempting to migrate, making it the deadliest year on record, based on new data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), released on Friday.
This figure exceeds the previous record of 8,747 deaths in 2023, continuing a troubling trend of rising fatalities over the past five years, as reported by the agency.
IOM Deputy Director General for Operations, Ugochi Daniels, expressed deep concern over the escalating migrant deaths, stating, "The tragedy of the growing number of migrant deaths worldwide is both unacceptable and preventable. Behind every number is a human being, someone for whom the loss is devastating."
