2298 Dead and Missing in Europe Route
According to data from the International Organization for Migration, the number of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe by sea has declined since the beginning of 2026, totaling approximately 60,000 arrivals, a 39% decrease compared to the same period in 2025. There has also been a significant 55% drop in the Central Mediterranean route, from which boats depart from Libya and Tunisia. Nevertheless, the number of deaths and disappearances during attempts to reach Europe has increased, with over 2,292 people confirmed dead or missing by mid-September, up from 1,999 the previous year. Deaths along the Eastern Mediterranean route have also risen, from 284 to 417. The organization calls for international cooperation to save lives and strengthen safe migration pathways, emphasizing that the increase in hazardous journeys requires a comprehensive approach to address migration and exploitation issues.
