In 10 years of search & rescue operations, we have documented 318 deaths and disappearances at sea. They represent a partial account of a much larger reality, as many deaths at sea go unreported. These deaths were neither inevitable nor acceptable. 👇 blogs.law.ox.ac.uk/border-crimi...

Yesterday, #ALBATROSS spotted a dead body floating in the Central Mediterranean. They had a name, and we will likely never know it. Days after multiple shipwrecks off Libya and dozens of bodies washing ashore, 2026 continues to be deadly. www.sosmediterranee.org/a-body-at-se...

Over 180 people died in the Mediterranean last week. Preventable deaths, the result of deliberate political choices. This is the deadliest start to a year on record in the Mediterranean. Deterrence has replaced assistance. States must restore search&rescue. Read our statement👇 bit.ly/readourstate...

Only yesterday, this (otherwise insightful) Guardian article reported on "10,457 officially recorded deaths on the route", referring to the Atlantic route to the Canaries. There needs to be much more care with contested data on migrant deaths... www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Maybe you've seen the truly shocking figures for migrant deaths in the Atlantic Ocean, reaching nearly 10,000 for 2024. How should we deal with such numbers, not least when they differ radically to other ac/counts? With Marta Sanchez Dionis in Border Criminologies. blogs.law.ox.ac.uk/border-crimi...
