Research into migrant deaths in Europe shows 22,000 missing, presumed dead, in past 14 years – more than half the global total.
Migrants trying to reach more prosperous countries have died at a rate of eight every day for the past 14 years, the majority of them trying to get to Europe, according to the most comprehensive ever tally of migrant deaths.
Almost 40,000 people have died on migrant routes worldwide, according to estimates by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), which added that 22,000 of them perished trying to get to Europe.
An estimated 4,077 died this year alone, suggesting a sharply escalating problem.
According to the IOM, the true number of fatalities is likely to be even higher than the figures in its report.
