AI Summary:
International Organization for Migration (IOM) recorded 8,938 migrant deaths in 2024. The real death toll is likely much higher given many deaths go unreported or undocumented. Asia was the region with the most reported fatalities with 2,788, followed by the Mediterranean Sea with 2,452 and Africa with 2,242. IOM is one of several groups helping displaced people that have been hit by major US aid cuts. Some seek asylum because they are fleeing war or violence. News of the record death toll comes days after the agency announced it was suspending many “lifesaving” programmes around the world.
