GENEVA (AP) — The International Organization for Migration recorded at least 8,938 migrant deaths in 2024. The real death toll is likely much higher given that many deaths go unreported or undocumented IOM said in a statement. Asia was the region with the most reported fatalities with 2,788 migrant deaths, followed by the Mediterranean Sea with 2,452 and Africa with 2,242. IOM said there were also an “unprecedented 341 lives lost in the Caribbean” and 174 in the Darién crossing between Colombia and Panama, a new record.
