We have recorded 1,865 people dead or missing, including 112 women and 342 children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These figures clearly reflect the consequences of policies more focused on migration control than on defending the right to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Migration control policies and the erosion of life-saving standards at sea were decisive factors in 47% of the tragedies analyzed in this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other factors directly impacting the right to life include: the failure to launch or act on search and rescue operations despite knowing the position of vessels; territorial inequality in the application of protection protocols; poor coordination between countries; lack of investigation into the causes and consequences of shipwrecks; the extreme precarity of the boats; and departures in adverse weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data we have documented over these five months\u2014gathered from primary sources, migrant communities, relatives, victims, and grassroots organizations\u2014are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1,865 people dead or missing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>38 boats disappeared with all people on board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>112 women and 342 children died trying to reach the Spanish coast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic route remains the deadliest, with 1,482 people reported dead\u201480% of all deaths recorded during this period. This route includes three sub-routes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The route departing from Mauritania is the most lethal, with 1,318 victims.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The route from Senegal and Gambia, with 110 victims, shows a significant drop in departures from those coasts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The coastal stretch between Agadir and Dakhla, with 54 victims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Algerian route in the Western Mediterranean has resulted in 328 deaths. This figure reveals a shift in the origin of victims, with a notable increase in people transiting through Algeria\u2014particularly nationals from Somalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAlthough the figures have decreased compared to the same period last year, we cannot normalize them. We must continue demanding that countries protect all human lives above migration control measures,\u201d<\/em> says <strong>Helena Maleno, coordinator of the research<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download here our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/caminandofronteras.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Report-DALV-5-months-2025-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monitoring Right to Life January &#8211; may 2025<\/a><\/strong> in English and, at the bottom of the page, in Spanish and French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Are you looking for a missing relative or acquaintance on a migratory route?
