Pertubuhan Antarabangsa untuk Migrasi Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (IOM) melaporkan bahawa hampir 9,000 migran meninggal dunia pada tahun 2024 ketika cuba menyeberangi sempadan, menjadikan tahun yang paling mematikan dalam sejarah. Jumlah kematian sebenar mungkin lebih tinggi disebabkan kes-kes yang tidak dilaporkan. Ramai daripada kematian ini berlaku di laluan berbahaya seperti Gurun Sahara dan Laut Mediterranean. Krisis ini berlaku ketika IOM menghadapi pemotongan kewangan, menyebabkan penangguhan program bantuan penting. Kenaikan jumlah kematian menyorot keperluan segera untuk dasar migrasi yang lebih selamat dan sokongan kemanusiaan.
