In 2025, approximately 7,900 people died or went missing during migration, raising the total since 2014 to over 80,000, according to the UN's International Organisation for Migration (IOM). The IOM emphasized the urgent need for political action to prevent these deaths, highlighting the impact of aid cuts and policy changes on migration patterns. The report noted significant shifts in migration routes and demographics, with a particular focus on the dangers faced by migrants, especially Rohingya refugees. The agency called for better data and sustained political will to address the crisis affecting families of missing migrants.
