Shafaqna English- Severe weather, conflict, economic pressures, and changing policies reshaped migration journeys across various regions in the first four months of 2026, leading to a significant increase in deaths. This information was revealed in new data released on Wednesday by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The agency’s newest route-based data shows a startling spike in fatalities among people seeking a better life, from the Bay of Bengal to the Atlantic Ocean, many of them falling prey to traffickers or scams along the way.
