00:01Nearly 8,000 people died or disappeared on migration routes in 2025, according to the United Nations.
00:08A stark reminder that for many, the journey in search for safety or opportunity remains deadly.
00:14While the figure marks a slight drop from the previous year's record, the reality may be far worse.
00:20Hundreds of cases were never verified, meaning the true toll is likely higher and in many instances unknowable.
00:26What stands out is not just the scale of the loss, but how it happens.
00:31So-called invisible shipwrecks, entire boats vanishing without a trace.
00:36Sea routes to Europe remain the most dangerous, but the data shows something deeper.
00:41Migration is not slowing, it is shifting.
00:43As policies tighten and conflicts persist, people are being pushed onto longer, riskier paths from West Africa's Atlantic, crossing to
00:51routes across Asia.
00:53Over the past decade, more than 82,000 people have died along these journeys.
