A just released IOM’s Missing Migrants Project (MMP) report provides new migration figures and estimates that at least 3,114 people died or have gone missing in 2018. According to the report, “the Mediterranean region, the Middle East and North Africa rank among the planet’s deadliest migration corridors”, which is shown by concrete numbers: in 2018 so far, 1,987 people died in the Mediterranean, 111 died in the Middle East, and 71 in North Africa. However, there is a downward trend compared to the previous year in the Mediterranean corridor, where 2,851 people died, a trend that can also be appreciated in the North African one, where 753 people died in 2017. MMP also noted that, on 27 October, in the Western Mediterranean, approximately 54 people went missing at sea after leaving Morocco from the Port of Bouyafar. If those victims are finally confirmed, they would bring the total number of Western Mediterranean deaths this year to 618 by the end of October, comparing to 224 deaths on that route during 2017.
